Last night driving to a place from home. About a mile away the engine started missing, running rough and the MIL flashing fast. I had to start it every time I pulled up to a stop light but made it home.
I pulled the codes with my generic Actron reader and Icar BMW reader.
Actron 33 Misfire det cyl 5 and Icar P1351
Actron 36 Misfire det cyl 6 and Icar P1353
Went to start it and the engine would not turn over, quickly turned it off, some type of hydro lock.
I pulled the coils and plugs, 5 was drenched in gas with a black hard crysty layer. 6 was light black not light brown and had a hard layer. Looked in cyl 5 and there was quite a bit of gas. Stopped to let it and the garage air out.
A couple of hours later, 5 looked dry. Rotated engine by hand and blew/pushed some more gas out. Cranked the engine, gas hit the wall 4 feet away from cyl 5, cyl 6 stayed dry. Tomorrow...
Installed plugs and coils (swapped), cranked engine same thing would not turn. Pull plugs and cyl 5 spark plug was drenched again, Pulled cyl 7, dry and light brown. Cyl 6 dry. Tested for pressure on the rail and no reading. Cyl 5 needs a new injector in my mind because it's held open and pumps a lot of gas into the cylinder and also releases the pressure on the line.. did I miss anything?
