Bmw e28, 520i won't start

Post by Rosie Da »

Hello everyone. I recently bought a 520i. After it being garaged for a week, it took me a long time to start the engine. I have to keep the car stable around 1.500 rpm for 1-2 min and sometimes it still won't start (it stalls). Eventually after 10min it does. What could this indicate? The car was stored in a normal temperature.

Welcome to our group!

More info like the year would be helpful, I believe different years came with different fuel injection systems which would require a different approach troubleshooting. And we'll help as much as we can, but keep in mind most of us are North American based and we didn't get 520i's.
