I was so blown away after performing the most basic piece of six minute maintenance on my car...
This time yesterday I was experiencing a bunch of crap that I had put off or regarded simply as common occurrences with 25 year old motors. Would occasionally need to crank it twice to start. Idle issues, especially while the motor was still warming up. Weak idle would inhibit power steering at times. It just generally sounded a little dead.
I swapped the fuel filter (simply because I purchased one with a recent pelican order and wanted free shipping) and it's like there a new M20 under the hood. The starting and idling problems completely disappear, which is totally understandable. It obviously wasn't getting a strong line of fuel. But damn, it's like it has a new soul. The starting, the sounds it makes, the rev quickness, the power..
Anyway, I'm still pumped up enough that I wanted to pass it on. And maybe another fairly new e30 owner will find a cheap and instant way to breath new life into an old motor
