Not yet, I'm debating on taking it back to my mechanic who just replaced the o-rings a few months ago.-Brandon

Changed to an E34 harness with an uncut O2 to remove any variables.....heater turns on normally, idle is perfect, VSS works completely, pulls hard, runs very very smooth, as if you stepped into an E36 and turned the key and drove. Not sure what exactly changed, or why it works, but it does, and I'm happy ;)Originally posted by TSI♫ Rust flecks are falling on my head...♫OEM+

Awesome - glad to hear you got it running smoothly!
I would give that a shot myself, but that will be a very last resort. With as clean as I've made my engine bay, I'd have to disassemble a TON to be able to change the harness out.
Although, at the moment I've got half of it disassembled anyway. I'll ponder that for a day or so and maybe just bite the bullet.-Brandon

Changing a harness is easy and won't mess up the look of your bay, in fact the E34 harness is cleaner because the wire box behind the manifold is smaller and tidier and the relays go inside the glovebox as opposed to outside like the E36 ;) It shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes once you wire the C101 !Originally posted by TSI♫ Rust flecks are falling on my head...♫OEM+

I think right now the only thing I'd have to remove is the harness itself and the manifold. I think I've got damn near everything else torn apart now.
It used to look like this...(the M3 harness shrouds aren't shown, but there's no wire visisble).

I'm glad I did all of the research and testing though, because I did fix a couple of minor things along the way that needed to be addressed. Plus I know a hell of a lot more about how the engine and computer system work together now. As a liaison engineer by profession, I love digging into stuff like this. :)-Brandon
