My E30 that has a temper

[Clark954]

First E30 and so far even though it likes to shut off at random times while i drive I still love it (if anyone has any leads why please tell), I got this for 800 bucks, and nearly everything works on it. needs some paint love and some engine love but shit its 27 years young so im not suprised.

Looks nice, I've always wanted to drive an M10 powered E30. You should tuck in the diving boards while you're at it.

deff going to do that i read the diy in the home link to this page, i told my friend about it he and I are both excited to back a car into a building wall >)

just to make sure and also to so i dont look or sound like a cock, my car has the m10 in it correct??? im new to the Beemer world, I have an MK4 Jetta GLI in my garage right now (slave went out so i droped the trany) and theres also a 10th aniv edition RX7 13b blown motor :(

84-85 318i m10 unless its been swapped.

[alB5]

Yeah it should be an M10, the classic 4 banger that was first produced in the early 60's :o

well i was playing around the ideo of dropin a 5.0 in it and just shitting on everyone in south florida but i decided its to much of a bitch right now to do that swap so im guna rebuild the m10 beef up some parts and boost it

Check your relays....the relays might be old and the terminals might be corroded.

[Clark954]

Thanks mr.beemer ill do that

well i took it out on monday to a local meet in boca and it would literally shut off about every mile or 2 on the way up north from lauderdale, then once we got there we brainstormed a little and came up with jack shit, as i went home it only died once right before i got on the highway and then it wouldnt start for about 30 mins then magic happend and it did, i got about 15 miles with out any issue so i thought maybe then thing just needed to be ran since it has been sitting, well just as my friend said that it died, and it died for good

we did a lot of highway shooting with a flashlight pocket knife and a flat head (only things available) we found that no fuel was being pumped, so its either a bad pump or no power to the pump. still havent gotten the fluke out to test it, but i called a tow truck and got home safe with my car so im happy

[Clark954]

We thought it was that but we can hear the solnoid clicking, ill check it with a fluke just to make sure
