1990 740GL with lh2.4
Car sat for awhile, I put 2 new pumps and filters in it, as well as good used injectors, new bpr6es plugs, and a good ole Italian tune up. Car runs infinitely better than when i first got it. On a cold start in the mornings, it would crank and crank and crank before starting. I figured out that the fuel pump relay was lazy and not priming properly so I threw in an aftermarket one I had laying around. Sat all day today in the cold snow and when i went to fire it up, I heard the pumps prime how they?re supposed to. Turned the key and it started for a split second then died. Tried again and it started right up. So, issue number one is not wanting to start first try when cold.
Issue number 2 is a stumbly idle, very noticeable in drive. CEL is illuminated.
Issue number 3 is a hesitation. Say the car is in park/neutral and I blip the throttle heavily, it will stumble before revving up. Sounds like it?s missing while I hit the gas.
Getting a 1-1-1 code from port 6, but when I try port 2, I get 0 feedback from the LED. Not sure why.
Plans are to check closer for air leaks, clean AMM, and possibly throw on some used cap/rotor/wires. Possibly test CTS as well.
If you guys could throw me some ideas as to why it?s having trouble cold starting, hesitating, and not providing feedback from port 2, that would be great.
