Title: Poor Running --> Checkmate
Post by: Jimmy Lewis on June 12, 2008, 08:41:11 PM

Well after much troubleshooting and cursing, I am proud to say that my car is better than new. My issue turned out to be a bad plug wire, making my 2nd cylinder dead. I must say that it feels absolutely amazing now, much better than it did even when I bought the car. I actually feel like I belong back in the e30 community now that my car doesn't run like shit.

I had some fun with a new Mini Cooper S on the way to the autoparts store today, and the car surprised me by how well it kept up with it after a launch. I can actually appreciate my new clutch now, its really great.

Thats all folks, thanks for the input, you guys are the best. Take it easy guys, I think I'm going to go for it ride. Its that enjoyable.
