I recently purchased an e30 325is. I got the car knowing it needed a little work probably just a tune up. I did the tune up (plugs, coil, fuel filter, cleaned ICV, cleaned AFM pulled injectors and cleaned and tested them, and i even took and cleaned all the contacts on the distributer cap and rotor) and it still runs like dog shit. it usually won't stay idling and if you finally do get the RPMS to come up it will backfire like crazy shooting flames threw the exhaust. I tested the AFM and it seams to be working properly. Does anyone have any idea what to try next. I am about to give up on this thing... BTW i need this running before the snow comes, i need to get the E36 put away.
