E46 M3 issues after storage
Discussion
Morning all,
My E46 M3 has been stored for a while (sacriledge I know) but work commitments made the choice for me.
Yesterday I needed to move it. The fuel was really low around 15 Miles. I removed fuse 54 and oil primed the engine.
She then started fine but started running like a dog. I plugged in and the reader showed there was misfire on various cylinders with and without cutout. And some strange fault to do with an empty tank.
I popped to the petrol station and got a can of Super then tried again. It ran, but still misfired. I tried to drive it just on my road, but it cut out and now will not start.
I had my 'M' head on yesterday and proceeded to flap.
The fuel filter probably hasn't been changed for over 2.5 years. Would this be a good place to start?
Any help appreciated.
