I used to be into MTB many moons ago. This past winter, I bought my dream frame (Nomad) Carbon and handpicked all of the components over a period of a few months. Have literally had it on zero rides since I completed it in February.
Planning on driving down to LA for a long weekend next month to pick it up and bring it back up north. Need to finish cleaning out our garage though, first.

I've got an m20 question. Over the past 2 days my 91 325i has been acting up. The engine is randomly losing all power/turning off for a second, then coming back to life. Dash gauges are reading fine, no dash lights, stop test says no problems (1444).
It's been happening when I dog the shit out of it or hit a big bump. Today it did the thing and almost died, but came back to life and idled fine at a red light. I got on it hard leaving the light and it died before I got through the intersection. It would start and then immediately die, hitting the throttle had no impact. Then about 30 seconds later I was able to start it and drive again.
The gas gauge say I have half a tank, the warning light isn't on, and I don't hear the pump being excessively loud.
Since I don't have any warning lights, it's an intermittent failure, and I don't lose electrical power (radio), my guess is a fuel pressure issue. Which leads me to suspect the pump or a clogged filter. I may try to get a new filter on the way home and change it in the parking lot, but I really don't want to break down on the freeway.
Any other thoughts?sigpic
