When are you looking at hitting up Parker's shop? I'll head down if it's before I have to go to work (9:30pm from Gig Harbor).


Definitely wouldn't mind coming down and poking around/helping out. Let me know?

[5Toes]

Its going to be a party! Parker and I have Saturday planned. Luke said he would likely come out too.

Haha well the only speaker that did work was blown. The other one on the rear deck works fine, I tested it witht he home stereo. The blown one, well the chrome center cap had fallen off! Hahaha

So I swapped them out and now atleast no rattling. So I have a problem with my deck or something.

[ck_taft325is]

Awesome. We'll get some shit squared away and give a thorough once over.

[5Toes]

Yay!

Drove it to Boy Scouts tonight, everyone loved it.

Car just cranked for 4 seconds, and I went oh no! But I let it sit for like 3 minutes and then pumped the gas pedal 4 times and it fired right up. Yay

Pumping the gas doesn't do much as far as hard starting goes. It's fuel injected, not carbed!

Congrats though mayne!

[5Toes]

Well it definitely helped. Gets some fuel in the cylinders.

You should make your headlights light up instead of the emergency flasherz. Weird cheeseball siggy

Nice find, I know exactly how hard it is to find an E30 worth buying.

Well it definitely helped. Gets some fuel in the cylinders.

injectors wont fire unless there is a signal coming from the cps while the harmonic balancer is spinning ;)
if you think about it on a fuel injected car, the throttle body only controls the amount of air entering the head. ECU controls fuel and spark.

a nasty fuel filter or an old CPS can cause hard start issues.
and check the c191 (plug for the injectors under the intake manifold). there is a very good chance that the connectors or wires under there are corroded, and that will give you all kinds of issues.


congrats, and enjoy it!

Doesn't sound like too much of a project, just needs a little bit of lovin
