So weeks later and i fell obliged to tell the gents on the forum the problem is fixed. After getting ripped off by 2 highly reputable guys and chalking up the board back to square one the problem was finally traced back to a crack in the rotor cap. This caused a failure to send current/ voltage to t...

had my buddy who works on e30s come over and look at it, no vacuum leak, fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump all work fine, including the relay, we narrowed it down to the wiring harness that is connected to the ignition coil. For some reason, the voltage supplying the coil directly from the batte...

this might as well be the case, when lining up the gasket with the cylinder how does one know the seal is properly secure, and should I tighten all the nuts little by little switching in between them or should I just tighten them one at a time? what do you think?

Happy holidays everyone, So i replaced the inner and out fuel injector seals and the corresponding fuel rail hoses, as well as all the intake gaskets and sealed with permatex copper manifold sealent. Now when i go to start the engine it abruptly starts on the first or two cranks and then dies out. T...

just curious if this could be done. I was told that the transmission that I have on my car (5-speed getrag, unaware of the model#), could be paired with a m106 motor with minimal modification... please lmk what you guys have in mind.

The first half of the driveshaft tore off the beginning of the u joint. Thoughts on why this happened? I made sure the splines were relatively within the exact same place from where I seperated them from.

hi greg, im beginning to think its a problem with a linkage too.. I wont be able to get it on stands until all this raining has stopped tho. thx

update: with the car off and in first gear. I can move it forward by pushing it, so im assuming it is a problem with the clutch or throwout bearing??

yep csb has been replaced with a new one

Just to make sure i get everything across. their is a clunking noise, think a metal bracelet twirled around on a metal rod you can only hear it when the car is moving in neutral. Stationary with gears engaged i dont move and rarely ever hear that sound. It honestly sounds like its coming from the di...

I was climbing up a steep incline on my way to a costumers house when something pooped out in my car and i had no ability to move. I had to park my car on the incline but even in neutral on my way back down the hill i could here clunking from the underbelly. Here are some symptoms of what caused the...

Hello gents, I actually diagnosed the problem today when i got time, it turns out its the clutch fan that needs to be replaced. So great that it isnt the transmission. I guess the vibrations from the clutch fan found its way to the engine/ transmission. Thanks for the suggestions gents, all the best!
