BAD!
Success! Well, after wasting my time sending my fuel injectors away ($150) for service and today still no success in getting my long-sleeping 1980 BMW 635csi Euro running, I read on this board about someone's ECU problem....
BINGO.
I had a spare ECU from the previous owner, and lo and behold... IT FIRED UP IMMEDIATELY and runs like a champ. Now, to get the clutch bled (pedal is on the floor) and see how this thing drives after sitting for over 3 years.
I am putting this car on the market immediately as I need to get it out of my garage.
