Hello all, hoping someone might be able to assist on this issue I seem to have. I've owned the P5 less than 2 months.
2002 P5, auto, 230K. Motor died while driving to work early this week. It does turn over, however slowly, but motor will not fire up. Not even a backfire.
Starter was taken out and tested. Numbers came back good. One tech did mention that he thought the starter turned over slower than what it should. The two plugs I checked do spark. They appeared old and the gap was way off. Plugs were replaced with new, still same condition. Plugs were wet, smelled like gas. Return fuel line was disconnected and checked for fuel pressure, which is fine. Sprayed starter fluid into air intake tube, no help. The Check Engine light was on before this occurred. No codes come back with the OBDII reader. Possible they were cleared out when the battery was removed to get to the starter(?).. Oil fill cap was removed and the cam does rotate. Motor fuse box fuses were checked, all ok.
What else am I missing to look at?
