: : Actully later 528es don't have cold start valves and the sensors are not in the bell housing they are on the dampner and the plug wires (this started around 87 model years ?) I'll bet you since the car sat for eight years the injectors are no good .
: Rev:How do I check the injectors?
He can use some sort of 12 volt test light. If you
have pulses and fuel pressure (~45 psi for Motronic)
should have fuel. I didn't think those injectors got stuck.
I guess he could try cleaning them.
: Scotty: Where is the main relay?
: Peter:I at least know that there is fuel up to 2 "vacuum advance" looking devices on top of the upper radiator hose neck at the fron of the engine. What are these??? Could they be blocked somehow?
Is there pressure?
Of course this could be why the car was abandoned in the first place!
