I am looking for help with my fuel injection system. I have a Euro 1973 CSi and I've had it in a shop for several years now - mostly sitting there with the hood up and no one doing anything. Anyway - it went in for no wipers and window motors not working. Now those work but, of course when it was started (with gas drained and replaced) the fuel injectors all started leaking. Those were replaced along with plugs and wires as 2 wires were arcing. It starts and runs beautifully now until it gets to temperature and then stalls out. The mechanic did a smoke test to check for vacuum leaks, none, and he also replaced the thermostat and tested the temperate sensor (good he says). He also did a compression test and I have great compression. I read the online article (found through here) by Paul Anders on the Manifold Pressure Sensor and sent that to the mechanic. The thing I did notice about my MPS is that prior to my ownership the epoxy was drilled out. I have tried to find anyone in my area (Buffalo, NY) who knows the D-Tronic system to no avail. At this point, the mechanic and I have been in several arguments, with him adjusting the tuning to keep it running - which worked for a couple days, and him saying it may or may not be the MPS. At this point I want to get it out of there - I could switch out the MPS myself. I am wondering if anyone else has had this specific problem of stalling, and if anyone knows someone in the Buffalo area who knows these systems. There was one guy at the BMW dealer here who replaced all my fuel lines before he retired about a decade ago, he was the last guy there who knew the D and L-Tronic systems.
Thanks
