So my m42 318is was running fine until a couple days ago. It started first try after a couple cranks and idled fine.
But then I found my battery to be dead one day, so I jumped it with my dad's car, took it around the block, let it idle for like 20 minutes to charge the battery, turned it off, tried to crank it, and nada. Bad alternator? Starter? Battery drain somewhere?
So last night I jumped it with a friend's car, and it started up then started idling soooo rough at super low RPM. I kept my foot on the throttle for a couple minutes to warm it up, but when I let up to let it idle on its own, immediate bog down to near no RPM so I turned it off to keep it from dying.
Can you guys help me diagnose these problems?
P.O. Said he put in a new battery, plugs, and the head has been rebuilt, but I have learned from experience that what P.O. said can always be total bullshit :sad:
Help r3v, I wanna drive my car!
