Title: 318Ti idle...
Post by: flametail on May 09, 2008, 05:54:48 PM

Not sure what the problem is. I have 2 videos. one is a 10 second idle and the other is a startup.

10 Second Idle (http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk297/flametail1/?action=view¤t=100_0434.flv)

Startup (http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk297/flametail1/?action=view¤t=100_0435.flv)

The car has 251K on it. I replaced the oil with Castrol Full Synthetic. I also replaced the plus with +2 (I think) Stocks.
