  1. hotwire called it. It was flooded.

    Undid a fuel feed line and put it in a container and cranked, fuel pissed out. So I was like 'wtf mate'.

    removed plugs (black and oily from a old, old, pistonringless engine) and they were wet.. Brakelened, reinstalled. Started.

    Awesome. Didn't think EFI engines got flooded this bad, wouldn't even pull start at 50kph for 1km or so.

    Drive time! Ty!


  2. Nah as I said I didn't have the tools on me to pull plugs. Just got it home now, will work on it in the light tomorrow.

    Wouldn't even pull start leaving it in 4th for 1 kay or so on the way home.. Still had the relays in the original positions though. Will report more tomorrow after some relay swapping/plug pulling/fuel pump feeling :)


  3. Thanks for the replies. Even basic plug pulling/pull a fuel line etc couldnt be done as I had no tools when I went back into town this arvo (and was hoping it would start)

    Flooding was 2nd guess, I bet the oil covered plugs couldn't break though with decent spark.. Did indeed try full throttle cranking.

    Towing it home soon!

    Oh and have just found the fuel pump relay is in a different place than the fuse box.. Under a cover near the airflow meter sort of.. I will swap those around and see if it changes the situation.


  4. 87 325 of course.

    Rather than wade through 1000 non-starting issue threads, I'll make one.

    Drove car in to work last night in town, ran just how it usually does. Finished work at 5am or so and car would not start.

    Cranks hard and gets up to 400 or so RPM. I stop cranking and it sits at 400rpm chugging for about 5-10 seconds before coming to a slow chugging stop.

    There is fuel in it, I swapped some relays around to check those, fuses are fine. I gave the fuel pump some whacks. Made sure all the ignition leads were on properly.

    Just went back into town now and still does the same thing. Will tow it home tonight.

    My guess is fuel pump at this stage. Just looking for second opinions, I have a rather limited budget currently (trying to save for a whole summer of track days :D Spose you need a fuel pump for those though..)

    THANKS IN ADVANCE :)
