M50 will not start

[Bill R.]

injectors can squirt but if the pressures too low it won't start but it will act like its just about to start.

I know iv posted on this before but im going f@#$ing trying to figure out wtf is up before i break down and have my car towed to shop. Ok so here I go. The car has been sitting for at least 3.5 years. So upto this point i have drained the fuel tank, added new gas, changed fuel filter, oil and filter, spark plugs, and radiator. When i turn the engine over I get spark on all six cylinders as well as fuel on all six cylinders (the injectors are squirting). The cars turns over healthy and doesnt make any noises that is shouldnt be except for not starting. When i turn it over it feels like it is about to catch, but it won't. I am also only getting the 1444 code, so no problems there. I also changed over the coils from another working engine to see if that is the probelm and it wasn't. The only other test i havent performormed is a compreesion test, but i am getting compression, and i know these motors will at least run with bad compression, just not well. Spring is here and i need to get in a bimmer asap, driving a caravan around in this weather is killing me

an injector squirts? A boroscope? Any trick I don't know about?

Would like to, as some time ago, read in the forum to try to "sense" the clicking at the injectors to be sure they are working (to discard camshaft issues), which in conjunction with proper fuel pressure would also discard fuel issues, but now this simply confuses me.

Well to see if the injectors are getting pulse from the dme all you have to do is put the cover of the wires next to the fuel rail, then get a test light between the two wires of the fuel injectors and have some turn the engine over and see if the light goes on and off, then your injector part of your dme is working, best way to check to see if it is actually squirting is to pull the fuel rail out and let someone turn it over and you can physically see gas coming out of them.
