Hi specialists. I am new to this group.
My ‘81 628 CSI 190k km has been inactive for 2 years
Now engine makes trouble. After changing all below; engine started, and got choked after 10 min. And will not star. What can you advice ?
Following is changed;
- all fuel hoses changed
- new fuel pump, filter and fuel
- cleaned/ replaced injectors
- oscilloscope test of ECU looks good
- new air flow sensor
- new throttle sensor
Spark OK,
Fuel pressure Ok.
Any advice is really appreciated
Thanks a lot

Welcome to the group!
Does the engine have the three basics: fuel pressure, injector pulses and spark? Any one missing equals a no start/no run.

Check Coolant Temperature Sensor input to ecu. The sensor provides a resistance value that increases as temperature increases. Control system defaults to rich condition if there's a sensor input issue
Was fuel tank inspected for rust? Common issue that slowly cuts off fuel supply. Fuel Pressure is important along with volume. You should get at least 1 liter per minute out of the pressure regulator return line
When you say "choked up" do you mean running rich where you can smell hydrocarbons at the exhaust?
