M50 running great after new plugs

Wow, what a difference a new set of plugs makes. The last pair were installed in May 2001 soon after the swap was completed. The idle is much smoother and the car actually has power. I'll be checking the O2 sensor soon.

I also ordered a Peak Fault Code reader which should arrive on Monday. I hope all the wiring is working so the codes can be read. I have no check engine light so who knows if there are any real problems.l

if you used orca's wiring the check engine light should still work... this is verified by experience

Yeah it should but my old eta gauge cluster doesn't have a check engine light 8) Brett Anderson once hooked up a BMW fault code reader but it didn't get a signal. I corrected the missing wire but haven't had a chance to test it since than. Maybe I'll wire an LED and put it on the dash somewhere to serve as my check engine light.
