1994 850 t5 would not start every other day

[evil850]

I had an intermittent starting problem with my t5
After hours of diagnosing,found the problem

Fuel return pipe bent and closed up on top of engine left side of injector cover
causing it to flood
replaced with new pipe.problem solved.
Its been a month since and still no problems.

Crap! How'd you bend it? ??

[evil850]

was not the metal pipe,but the rubber one on top left side of fuel rail.It had closed up and perished.

Take it you've not done your pcv then? Done 2 now and both times the pipe has split whilst trying to get it off the metal pipe.

Not tried doing the PCV without removing the inlet manifold?

;)

[evil850]

No,not done pcv yet,though it needs to be done as ive got a small amount of smoke coming from the dipstick

i bet its possible on ME7's

i bet its possible on ME7's

Wouldn't the throttle body get in the way? (I believe the PCV is under the inlet manifold)
