help needed

[unstopables_7]

Guys,I really need some inputs here...I just replace my clutch and also O2 sensor(new)..before i send my car,i have checked and the O2 sensor is allready faulty..and at that moment i'm having difficulty to start the car..so i assumed it was bcos of the O2 sensor..After i took my car yesterday,the mechanic told me everything is settled..and of course the clutch is super light and the car feels very light..but the starting prob is still there..is like this..1st time crank..fail2nd..fail..3rd CONFIRM can start..If im lucky the 2nd time can start..once in a blue moon..i'm wondering why..after scanning..no fault!advise plz.....what should i check?BUT this only happens when the car is cold..assuming i leave the car 1 nite the next morning..itz happens..but if i use d car and after 2-3hours start back sure no prob..1 time start..Itz a 325 e36..

View attachment 17605cud be yr cam position sensor(pic) or the crank postiion sensor(located in front of the engine near the toothed pulley).best to get the sensor resistance value and see if it's within tolerance before changing.and no i don't have the figures.sorry

Not sure if ICV can be the cause of your car not being able to start. Have you checked the starter?

 

[John_Smith]

Could be starter motor konk already. I faced similar problem.

1st time - "tak" sound
2nd time - crank.. start.

 

[unstopables_7]

i havent check anything yet..really bz afew days..
im going to check this weekand..
but bro John..mine dont have the "tak" sound..its crank properly n normally..

1st crank fail
2nd crank almost there but fail
3rd crank sure start..but after start there's 1 kind of smell like d petrol burning smell quiet strong..

wonder y..
talk 2 my mechanic on the phone..
he said wana check the spark plug and petrol filter 1st..

And i do have a question bro..
my O2 senson has been faulty about 1month and i still use d car..
so..just thinking and thinking..is it possible that the mixture was not good and the other parts are effected..
like dirty with the extra carbon due 2 not proper burning in the engine?

But bro..
mind to share how did the d carbo thing??really new to this actually..coz as i know there's alot in the market and i'm abit afraid and dont wana simply try..

 

[John_Smith]

Another way to decarbonise carbon buildup in the engine is to visit redline more often..

 

[unstopables_7]

prob settled..

You have asked for help and our bros here are so willing to give you some pointers. When you have solved your problem, at least tell us what was wrong with your car. Don't lah just say "finally solve the problem" and disappeared.

Me too interested to know, some said use V-Power Racing full tank for 2-3 times then it will decarbo the engine and will improve for the performance bck. Don't know how true it is..
