Hello! I am in the process of acquiring a very stock 1990 245. Overall, the guy before me seems to be an amateur mechanic like myself but has not been able to get the car off the bottle. The car sat for eight years prior to him owning it.
He replaced the in gas tank pump and sending unit as well as the external fuel pump and filter and fuel is reaching the rail. He has not installed but does have a new fuel pressure regulator. In addition, he has replaced the following:
- External fuel hose, pump and filter and applicable couplers
- Spark plugs
- Distributor cap and rotor
- Air filter
- All ceramic fuses
One suggestion he had was cleaning the injectors - does this sound right?
I appreciate your input as I diagnose both the car and impact on my wallet!
