I recently bough an e34 535i sport with a friend of mine. The car had not run in about 5 years and was told it was running before it was parked up.
I first off tried starting it and got nothing so i drained the tank completely and cleaned it out and cleaned the fuel pump and put in some fresh petrol i aslo by passed the fuel filter.
I then tried starting it again and nothing, checked spark which was very good very bright and white spark and it is also getting fuel i then checked for compression by putting the car in second gear and pushing it with a friend and it was chugging as if the car had a nice bit of compression i did not have a compression tester.
I then thought it might be over fueling so i disconnected the fuel pump dried the spark plugs turned the engine while spraying some starter fluid directly into the the throttle and still nothing not even a misfire or attempt to fire pulled a spark plug and it was wet.
next thing i am going to try is spark timing as its about all i can think of
Anyone have any other suggestions?? im starting to run out of ideas fast
