we'll have to get video cameras, because robert won't be shooting. I am also working on mounting a small camera into my spoiler, I'll test it on my way to Wisconsin. Hopefully I won't fail.
Maybe. We have to fix it first. The fuel pump shit itself at the campground RIGHT before leaving. It made it home but has now potentially died completely :(
Anyone going to be in GA soon that wants to take a look at it haha? I am not experienced mechanically at all. Blake said fuel pump is fine atm. It sounds like it's turning, but just won't get to that point and fire up. No sparks coming from plugs. I replaced coil...still nothing.
I don't think the list is ever "final".. Sign up and plan on attending.
Nick, check the crank sensor see if it's loose or gone bad.. It will shut off spark.. Or any loose connections.. I'm sure there are other things but I just got up and not thinking...........................
Oh yeah, Steve and I have both seen the cut by the water pump pulley... look there especially between the pulley and the front of the motor..( I'm more awake now)...lol

Ok, I appreciate it. I'll report back to command once I find out if that is the problem.

I've seen the other suggestions, all good...I have an 85 318 also which just shuts down whenever it feels like it. After 3 months of frustration I have discovered that most of the 24 year old harness connectors are oxidized and losing contact. I could slap the ECU and it would run again (ECU plug). A 15$ tube of conductive grease (available at your local electronics supply House, not Radio Crap) applied to all connector pins has mostly solved the problem. Use it judiciously; it is conductive and will short between pins if you get sloppy. My 2 cents.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, if you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
