starting problemh

[87bimmer]

87 BMW 325. I am having a problem with starting. The engine spins over 8-10 times before starting. It runs fine after that- no skipping, stalling out or anything. Plugs look good, and new fuel filter installed. Any ideas? Thanks. Photos coming soon!

Have you checked the distributor cap and rotor?

Check the battery, it might be running low.

Give it a jump and see how that works.

When was the last time you checked your timing¿

Also, check the O2 sensor. I had the same problem which was the fault of a very lazy sensor. If you need info on how to test it, let me know on here or by IM.

Kether, can you tell me the correct way to test my O2 sensor? Thanks.
