I have a 91 740 that decided not to start yesterday. This was after
sitting for 2 days and a very frosty night. It started off by running
for 5 seconds roughly and after that just turns over with little
hints of trying to sputter and run.
It was also parked differently than usual with 2 wheels up on the
curb which raised the left side of the car higher than the right, not
sure if that is a factor....it is back on level ground now.
This is 1 day later and I actually got it to run again for about 10
seconds and as soon as I hit the throttle it stopped. I may have been
pumping it too much today as I now smell fuel when I try to start. It
is fuel injected and I'm not sure if it can be prone to flooding such
as a carburated version would be. If I wait an hour or so it sounds
promising at first then simply goes back to just turning over
again....any thoughts out there?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
