SOURCE: spark flooded with petrol

You need to test each injector plug with a injector noid light.Have someone crank the engine while you observe the light.It should flash off and on at a steady pace.Test each one to make sure you have steady injector pulse,if they all test ok then you should not have a fuel delivery problem.Also if your spark plugs are wet or black they are fouled and you will need a new set.

Sounds like the timing belt has slipped a tooth. Recommend inspecting timing belt, and replace if it has slipped. If you have more questions, please reply.

Hi,


These are the steps you need to do :


1.Never crank the engine. This can easily cause more expensive damage.

2. Remove all induction components i.e. air filter box, air metering devices and all air ducting and disconnect injectors (electrically)

3. Remove Spark Plugs (Petrol engines) or Glow Plugs (Diesel engines)

4. Dismantle as required to allow water to escape from throttle body and inlet manifold.

5. Reverse step 4

6. Crank engine by hand to check timing

7. Crank engine with throttle pedal fully depressed until all water is ejected; but beware of high pressure water being ejected from combustion chambers. Reconnect Injectors

8. Re-fit one spark or glow plug and crank again. The engine should "cough".

9. Re-fit second spark or glow plug and crank again. The engine will "cough" and may even run.

10. Re-fit third spark or glow plug and crank again. The engine will probably run.

11. Re-fit the fourth plug and crank again. The engine should run.

12. Ensure all induction components are dry and re-fit using a NEW air filter.

13. Start engine. It should run normally if the engine hunts (faltering revs) the air flow sensor is suspect.

14. Change the oil and oil filter. Mil light may be on so code clearing may be required.

I have just put a new block in 1997 E36 320i bmw.Everything has been put back nicely but the car can't idle. The starting is perfect but when you press the accelerator it produces that poping sound as if...

I will give you a short piece of advice because I am not that familiar with Beemers. I have worked on many vehicle in my life and it sounds like to me that you have one of you plug wires crossed. Again I am only saying this from passed experience and from what you are saying I have seen this before and that was the cxase. Good luck, Also make sure that all the ground wires were attached back to the engine as the electrical systems have to be grounded, Take care, Roger

91Mazda 626 dies suddenly after 10 minutes running fine

I had the same,drove me nuts,made sure of fuel and spark(about 10 times),all good.anyway after it stopped looked under bonnet to find petrol coming out of carb,(didn't notice this before because the petrol had evaporated by the time i looked).took carb apart ,cleaned and checked jets,all resonable.Then i looked at the float seemed good but checked by putting into boiling water only to find small bubbles coming out of the float !!!!! thus float not floating right, too much petrol and flooding and then stopping.But let it cool down and everything sorts itself out and your good for another 10 minutes.You can check for air leeks by spraying wd40 around suspected areas and looking for bubbles.am no expert but hope this helps.
In short air leaks bad. Float not floating bad.
