'92 525i, m50, auto, 231k
car runs great, when it wants to. drives nice when it wants to, minus the rear shocks being dead.
it has a rough idle sometimes, other times is smooth as glass, then it'll fall on its face right off idle, or miss terribly above 3k...
and again, when it wants to, it runs perfectly
no intake leaks, tps and maf test good, dont know about the coils, but i do know that 3 are original, and the other 3 are a random selection of junkyard coils. no codes. check engine light came on, and now it throws a code 1221. o2 sensor
just got this car 3 days ago
the trans doesnt know what it's doing either. it works, then it doesnt, then it works, then it throws trans program in my face, then it doesnt work worth shit, then it works perfectly fine, and then doesnt work again.
oh, and it snapped one of the bolts on the diff mount bracket, left side, the one that goes through the bushing. sounds wonderful when the inner joint is sitting on the subframe! /sarcasm
i'm fixing that today
got the car knowing that it needed some work, but it's becoming a bit of a pain. it's probably sitting in the driveway laughing at me right now lol
help? im new to the m50, and the electronically controlled trans.
