Ya know, IDK when the fuel filter was done last. Just ordered one to be here this afternoon. Add that to my little list of things this weekend. Taking the headliner out and hopefully finally finishing up my power steering setup, and fixing the LF window regulator again.

My older son's '95 D1. Has a newer long block from a pampered D2 with 100k (that guy converted to diesel). We installed a used Old Man Emu 2" suspension with shocks.
Before this, our father-son project was an '87 RR Classic. Such a classic shape, such a great car, but you can't make that truck run right! Even the LR guru in Seattle was baffled by that injection system. And everything on it was just worn out - the suspension bolt holes were all ovaled, little maintenance, random electrical problems..
We finally gave up, and traded it plus cash for this one from a LR shop. This one goes everywhere.

Did my fuel filter. It was dated 2000 and a black, gritty substance came out.
Needless to say it runs a helluva lot better now. Also washed the truck, looks so clean...then RAIN.
I have a problem with water getting into the spark plug tubes (engine cover won't fit) when it rains, and we had a downpour last night. Ran like crap on the way to work this morning.
Going to look into the PCV system too, as I think there are vacuum leaks down there. It's so much better with the new FF, but still decides to hesitate and miss from time to time.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

I think there is some vacuum leaks under the intake mani, all the crank case vent BS. I'm gonna try to dig into it this weekend.
Still have to repair my window regulator, again, and rip out the saggy headliner.
I'm growing weary of the M52.....kinda want to find a nice M30B35......simpler and more power.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

Also, damn thing just cut off at a light. It's done this several times. Sit at a light for about a minute, and it just cuts off as if the key was turned off. Even when it's running fine, just BOOM, off.

Seriously though, mine has been alright, except for the ABS ring I had to destroy to do the brake rotor, and consequently the wheel bearing since it all has to come apart to replace the brake rotor. (such a PITA, I may add....)
I'm quite happy overall with the truck. Just need to get these running issues sorted. :hitler:1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5
