Hi there, A little while I posted a thread about my car, a 1987 325i slushbox. It was being super sluggish and was really disappointing. I did 0-60 in about 12 seconds... ya right
Most people thought it was a restricted cat, so i got a custom exhaust put together.... and its no better.
So Rev, why is my car so slow?
-Dont just say its because its auto... I know they're faster than that.
Few things i've noticed
-Slight rough idle
-Dirty injectors (cleaned them)
-Smells like its running rich (dont know how to go about fixing this)
-Trouble starting when it sits for an hour, always starts but it has to turn over for a while first. Starts fast cold, and starts fast hot... Just not warm.
-As soon as I let off the gas and i'm stationary, the revs drop to like 300 and it feels like its gooing to stall out. This only happens when i blip the throttle at idle.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
-Will
