It might smooth things out a little bit with more spark, but don't expect anymore power. My coil was about $50, available at pretty much any Parts Store (Kragens is where I got mine, or O'Reilly, or First Call; Whatever they go by now) For valve adjustments you need feeler gauges for sure, and possibly some other tools. I haven't adjusted mine personally yet, but I have seen it done in an old 2002 briefly. There are some write-ups on how to do it and what's required, but I recommend buying a repair manual. -
would i notice anything from the performance wires and coil ( were did you get your coil and how much is it ) and the valve ajustment what tools do i need how much are they and can i get someone else to do it lolLeave a comment:

You can do anything you want to your engine...with deep enough pockets. If you are looking for more spark, you can get some new wires (I got the performance set from bimmerworld, and I will NEVER buy them again, nor would I recommend them to anyone). They only lasted 4 days before all the plastic insulators in them were so brittle, they broke on their own. You can also upgrade your coil to an MSD like me and crazyman have. The MSD Blaster 3 is what I run (note: you probably will not notice the difference). Other option is to run Megasquirt and an EDIS 4 system. This is your most expensive route, but it's the best out of the options and gets rid of the distributor. Valve adjustments are not hard, just take time, and you need to have the correct tools for the job. If you don't adjust your valves correctly, it could be potentially terrible to your engine, as in goodbye valves and pistons.Leave a comment:

Have your valves adjusted, and perform a tune up (cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter). Also check your timing to make sure that it's spot on. Start with the basics, and then move on from there. Honestly, with the m10, if there is any other noise than what sounds like an angry sewing machine, or just loud ticking, it's not right. The inspection light is probably your SI board burnt out. There is a way to reset the light by jumping 2 connections in your diagnostic port under the hood at the front of the engine (you can research that on your own). If you reset it, and the oil service, or inspection comes back up, your SI board is toast (like mine). Also, make sure you run 20w50 oil in your m10. It doesn't like light weight oils. Start thereLeave a comment:

it dose not happen all the time the inspection light is on all the time but the knock comes and gose my rev is also lower when its rainy whats with that? but the knock is not really a sound as much as a feel, i just didnt know what to call so i went with knock, when im driving it will feel like i hit a bump or something but i didnt and its not bad but really quick honestly it feels like its missingLeave a comment:

can you tell where the knock is coming from? does it happen all the time?
If it's happening all the time I'm going to guess it's a mechanical issue inside the motor, not gas or anything like that.Leave a comment:
