The Disc, PP and RB have less than 1000 miles on them. I'd prefer to remain with the DM FW for now, as I am sinking money in the car for the Timing Chain Rails, Hoses and Valve job.....

Engine + Driveline / Dual Mass FW

« on: August 15, 2016, 06:41:24 PM »

Working on my son's 1991 318is, and it appears that the Dual Mass FW is worn/toast, as it easily moves back and forth. He's gone thru two clutch disc's, due to the non spring disk taking all the initial rotational stress, sheering the disc.  Does anyone know if these can be rebuilt, and if not, I need to find a good used one....

In addition doing all the timing chain rails, head gasket, and all intake/vacuum/water hoses......

Off-topic discussion / What was your first car?

1972 Monte Carlo. My dad and I were lookin at a classic muscle car for me first. I found a 74 Cutlass Supreme for cheap, but he liked the Monte better. Thing stunk but I loved it! 350ci V8, pillarless, no working A/C and the headliner was tore up, so you couldn't roll down the windows, no working dash lights, custom home-made stereo system....and the piece de resistance: Bench Seats.

Engine + Driveline / New Car: BIG cold start problems

« on: December 24, 2009, 10:23:57 PM »

hey guys, same problem here (I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! IT SUCKS!!). engine boggs is sluggish and unresponsive when outside temp is 60F or below and until the temp needle is out of the blue, although it idles on it's own alright unless its in the 40s outside, but even then it holds it's own. all my resources (mostly you guys) have led us to believe its the AFM, however the O2 sensor and coilpacks seem like a high possibility. We've gone through the same motions as well, replaced all the coolant hoses, coolant temp sensors, camshaft pos sensor, intake bellows. TPS seems to be working as per multimeter specs, and ICV killed engine when we unplugged it (although no audible 'buzzing'), so it's assumed that it's working as well. Haven't tried testing the AFM (trying to find one that won't break the bank) or seeing if the O2 sensor is too bad to work. Have you tried those fifty?

Thx Dave, how do I ck these two parts?

I was thinking the problem would be in some part that is sending an incorrect temp reading to the brain, or the ICV not opening, or staying open.

1991 318is, car starts up cold perfect, and idles perfect, but will not take any gas (engine spits, misfires, backfires in intake and exhaust when I try to give it gas when cold) until engine is warm. Once it's warm, runs perfect. I've replaced all vacum lines, plugs, temp sensor, cam sensor, cleaned throttle body. Have not checked or replaced ICV....
