just rebuild my m10.
but i got some problems. the fuel is like 1.5 years old since that took my restoration of the car. it starts cold and hot good. idle is good. its just a constand speed it will shoks (its not smooth) and at higher rpm like 4.5k 5k its lacking power.
i cant find it. tps is working. if i put it on the co meter its like 0.25 and i cant go up or down if i screw on the afm. if the car is in my garage for like 5 mins it smels bad and it hurts my eyes. oh and the eco meter on the dash doesnt do much only when full throtle it moves abit.
anyone ideas?
Your timing is good between the cam and crank?
No e30s again.
jup thats good
And the gas is still old gas? You have not changed it and pulled the fuel lune to pump out the old?
Pour rubbing alcohol in the tank to help with bad gas. A few quarts will help.
Do you have someone you can swap an afm with to test that?
No e30s again.
Just out of curiousity, why would you rebuid an M10 and then run 1.5 year old gas? Seems lazy and a source of issues...
it was like 15 litres and mixed with 20 litres new. though thats no probs. if needed i can pomp out the gas and fill with new one. but can tis be the problem?
it could because the old gas was probably varnish.
but the o2 not moving is another. it sounds like your afm might be an issue so you need to test that. there is a way to check it with a multimeter on the pins, or find a local person and see if you can swap the afm for a test run

the afm wiper arm puts a track on the circuit board after a while and it will cause the afm to not read properly so your car doesn't know how much air is coming in. if your swap or pin test shows the afm to be bad, pop off the little plastic cover and inspect the track where the arm swipes on the circuit board. if its really worn, you can just bend the arm to swipe a different area and it should fix your afm issue.

i have seen those things on youtube.
in an hour ill drain the gastank and put fresh 98 gas in it. and if i have the right fuelpump from my work ill replace that one to. ill look up to the afm aswell
ok. let us know how it goes
No e30s again.
aggr fuelpump from my work dont fit. ill order just a new one. in tank fuel sender is really clean aswell for the inside of the tank. draided all old gas out and filled with fresh 98. when my new pump arrive ill update here. i might go and find other afm aswell.
I had the same problem because I had more car painted years ago, it was just the gas was old. Even when I run it down low and refilled it with new gas it came back for a short period of time. I think there was just a little bit of bad gas in the tank. I ran it low again refilled it second time and put fuel cleaner in and have no problems now.
