Hello everyone,
I am a new member and I am in dying need of all of your thoughts and opinions!
I own a 1987 318i, the engine is a m40b18, I have just rebuilt the top half of the engine due to a blown head gasket!
However now everything is back together the car will only crank and will not start! I have checked for spark and I have a nice one, i know there is no fuel entering the engine as I pulled out a spark plug after cranking and it was dry, so the problem I feel lies with the injectors? Is there a common fault here? I'm not sure what to do next!
( I DO have fuel pressure)
Thanks jack[/u]

Where (EXACTLY) did you check the fuel pressure?

At the pipe going to the fuel pressure regulator or the other one?
