Same codes as you! We replaced the vanos, majority of the CCV system, valve cover gasket twice (don't these suck to instal compared to a m20!), and many other things. His newest codes are for misfires in all 6 cylinders, P0170, and P0173. It gets worse though, he needs smog done by the 17th and hes high in HC's. I highly doubt its the cat cause the car just went on 100k. Its a 98' 328i e46.

I would do the whole CCV system, it gives you those random misfires because its so clogged up, and chokes air to certain parts of the engine. Check the intake spreader (mine was really clogged) too.

Wow awesome deal and nice car! The difference after cleaning the headlights is amazing.... Looks like a whole new car from the front. I loved the emojis after the valve cover replacement hahaLast edited by e30onBBSs; 03-07-2015, 11:31 PM.BMW tech

Dem strut towers...
Awesome stuff
Polished everything with trim polish
That's all, I'd like to do the oil stand gaskets next as well as some leaky power steering components.Comment

That looks 1000x better, and will be much nicer to work on too.Comment

Lets check the plugs.
Burned
Wonderful. Bad plugs were causing the sluggish speeds when kicked in the ass
Time to order plugs, in the meantime....
Its the small stuff that counts
And I cleaned, and cleaned, and cleaned, and cleaned....
Dirty...
Decided to address the bumper
Runs much better! CEL is gone and never coming back....at least I hope :)Comment

OMG yay. I was flipping through the pages of your thread thinking, "Please get some Gunk to clean that..." :up: The kind in the spray bottle as opposed to the can seems to last longer too, so keep an eye out for it. ;)Comment
