My car is a 1991 325i, car began to run a bit suspicious on a few occasions by under revving and feeling as though it was going to stall, then one day (4 days ago) it would not start.
The car turns over as though it is going to start but it will not. I replaced the CPS sensor as my old one was a bit suspect as it seemed to be loose on the sensor side. The car still does not start.
When I turn the ignition I can hear the fuel pump click and the ICV can be heard. The fuel relay clicks as well.
I have replaced the ICV and fuel relay with working ones and still no start. I have joined the wires (80+37) and can hear a click.
The inlet manifold connections seem to be fine.
I can smell petrol while cranking the car and when I took the spark plugs out, they had petrol on them. I cleaned them and put them back in, the car did momentarily start but even with the throttle down, it turned off.
The throttle click can be heard when depressing the accelerator.
I have changed the ignition coil with a working one and still no success.
I opened the distributor cap and removed the rotor arm and found a couple of cracks on the rotor arm but would they stop the car from starting?
There is also very little corrosion around the tips of the distributor cap.
Would the blue temp sensor affect the car on start-up?
