[Wishno87]

I will have some time on saturday morning/early afternoon if he still needs it. Im right across the river from Portland so Im going to need some gas money but I can donate my time :up:

you're going to hear about the planes that crash though not the ones that land safely.

i'm not commenting on your situation or anything but personally my experience with greg has been nothing short of great

i agree. anyways thats my old car and i just havent had time to come down there and lend a hand. car ran great when i sold it to him tho. from the vids sounds like the vac leak is really loud im sure someone will figure it out fairly easy when they actually see the car.

[MR 325]

thanks I sent him a pm. I just remember being really frustrated with cars when I was young and didnt know much. I had guys helping me out back then. they would crank the motor by the handle out front while I worked the gas.

Haha!!

Theres a new member named Dan that has a swap car , NV m50. Its his first car and hes new to BMW's and has a strong desire to learn. Ive talked to him on the phone trying to walk him through it but if we had 1 knowledgeable guy that could spend 15 minutes on his car i think we could solve his issues and get him going again. It sound like a vac leak/ICV issue but he cant get the gooseneck out of the intake. I obviously cant physically do it or i would. 100 bucks worth of parts at cost to anyone who is willing to help

Lakewood is not far from me, I have an extra ICV I could use to test it. Not sure if I will have time to look at it tonight, but probably could tomorrow after work if he does not figure it out by then.

[blunttech]

thanks guys I have been swamped and havent spoke to him since last night Ill pm him and give him a call in the morning

[Matt-B]

Blunt Josh, thats 1.5 hours from my house, Ill drive us up

[nwe30]

hey guys its me, the guy who needs help! wow, i am surprised at the amount of people willing to lend a hand.
i didn't see this thread until now.
Steve, thanks so much for all your help. i got a pm from "wanganstyle" yesterday and he sold me an icv for 32 dollars shipped. he's shipping it tomorrow.

i still am unsure if it's the icv that's bad...an experienced eye and ears would definitely make my life so much easier. killacortes sold this car to me and he is not a bad guy by any means, car was solid when he sold it to me. it was just a spell of bad luck when she started having problems

[nwe30]

so basically Matt-B wasn't able to make it out today and ck_taft325is hasn't been able to find enough time with his child and everything that's going on.

is there anybody else out there that can help me? i don't know what's wrong with my car and i haven't had it for almost a month now...it's terrible. i only drove it for 3 days.....it's sickening to me because i am just watching the car sit there..it was so much fun. :(

[avery0829]

I might be able to help you out sometime this weekend, I have an extra ICV too if need be.

[nwe30]

Icv was replaced. O2 sensor was ordered....but im in need of a maf sensor now. Do you have an extra?

[Kruzen]

Lakewood is only 20-30 minutes drive (or less) for many of us.. Hopefully someone can get out there (I'd be useless)

[z31maniac]

Come on you lazy slacking PNW'rs, give the guy a hand. Hell you were even offered $100 in parts!

[Stephen]

hmm its not super close, i can probably find the time if need be but im not the MOST qualified guy on here for that sort of thing.

Well if my e30 swap was running then I may be of help, however I'm not experienced in the vac leak dept nor do I have a means of transportation.
