Car doesn't want to start yet has power ...?!!

[Brownie402]

Hey I bought an 1984 bmw 533i 220k miles from a friend of mine . When I bought it it would stall on me while driving .. So I let it sit and did research .. Came down to the ignition coil .. Replaced it car was good for a while then bam stalling all over again .. I recently replaced the fpr and cleaned the maf sensor .. Eventually car just didn't want to kick over yet it has power ..

New parts are : fuel pressure regulator , starter , water pump , thermostat , fuel filter , fuel pump , spark plug wires ,

Someone please help a e28 newbie .. Before i junk it

Follow the testing on this website and assist with a Bentley manual. Most likely you'll find the issue, but I would highly suspect the ecu, coolant temp sensor or massive air leak. I have had a no start from a cap and rotor also. You can scrap the carbon off to test it.

No one knows what the shit "kick over" means. This isn't a scooter.

Also, stop making new topics for the same issues. If you can't even describe what is happening proficiently, no one will be able to help you.

I'm local & can connect with you to give my opinion whether the car is salvageable or not. In the event it isn't, I have resources to assist with alternative methods.
