Worked on the car a bit this weekend, got sidelined and impulse bought a truck.... New front clip is on. It is weird to see this to start to be one color again. I am stoked to finally have a oem hood latch setup too. Didn't dive into anything with the motor. Still dreading that.

​Well, not so long winded update.
Car has sat since the last update.
P0340
Car has 2 new crank/cam sensors (oem)
New fuel filter
New fuel pump
--------------------------
Car still has been doing the same thing. Now won't start unless ya spray down the intake. Will stay running as long as you spray.
So deff something fuel related? No injector pulse? Sticking injectors? Bad harness ( possible with my s212? splice incident ) Bad dme? (car still runs? kinda)
A bunch of people gave me some leads to chase down. it's been 4? months since i've touched it. Life, work, you know. Really want to get the thing good again by my birthday. It'll take some time. We'll get there.

Well, Car kinda runs. At least off it's own supply of fuel now. Will Just die at idle, slight miss/choke up around 3K that'll clear out. Still have p0340.
This P0340 will be the death of mean, I know i have some vac leaks that are audible.
Was planning to open the Tb a bit and spraying everything to listen to where/what. then visually verify everything.
Going to sort leaks and report back eventually.Comment

Fixed a bunch of vac leaks, cleaned up some under the manifold stuff.Car is back to running like a champ. Only took it down the block though cause i need to register it. But was ripping up till third gear.Comment

Nice work! I had a feeling all those vacuum leaks were killing the engine at idle. Sounds like you're about ready for an Italian tune up after rego.Comment

Italian tuneup went wellComment

Tried to paint the quarter over the weekend. I had some paint marked 314 bmw so i tried it out. It doesn't match to well. But it's more one color than it is two now lol. Picked up a e90 to flip,
Wired up the E-Fan to a relay + temp probe. Kinda gearing up to pull the motor over the winter. I pretty much have beat the car the death from when i built it till now. It's been the daily, fun car a handful of times and it deff took its toll.Attached FilesComment
