    Cursed E30!

    Why does it seem that the more I try to fix this car the worse it runs? I changed out the coolant temp sensor after finding out it was bad, car starts running like crap. I unplug the sensor, Car runs like a champ! I'm so confused... Seems like I should just keep it how it is

    That's awesome. I have friends who make coffee for a living, but you don't see me rocking out a bunch of lattes

    Whenever you change out a sensor you should disconnect the negative cable from the battery for about ten minutes to clear out the previously stored values. I am not sure if this method works for all sensors, but it is a rule that I follow.

        I pulled the battery when I did it, I think I might have a clogged fuel injector. Pulling the plug on the 1 cylinder causes no noticble change, pull it on any other and it stumbles. Plug looks good and has a nice spark.

          Update, I'm a idiot. When I changed the coolant temp sensor I also removed a plug for the fuel injector. Upon reinstalling the plugs I mixed the two up. Put the plugs back onto the correct spots and the cars running better than before now that I'm getting signal from the coolant sensor.
