hi,this is my first post on the e30 zone.i have been an e30 owner for around 12 years.i bought my current e30 3 months ago.its a 316i 1989 RHD.I am having problems with the fuel system.If i leave my car longer than 3/4 days or a week etc it drives like there is fuel starvation.it can be quite bad at times.a couple of days later it will clear itself.if i drive my car evey day then i dont seem to have any fuel problems.the car starts easily every morning.if i however go to start my car after work it can turn over like the fuel is not getting through but will fire up in a few seconds.sorry for long winded post!any help would be great,thanks very much.

What's very likely is that your injectors are worn and sticky, allowing fuel pressure to drop over time and giving you a bad spray pattern to boot.
Either pull your injectors out of your engine, or buy some used ones from a scrapyard, and send them to Injectortune for a pro rebuild at 10 quid a pop.
