For Sale / 91 318is- engine stuck/dead $800 NJ
« on: February 02, 2010, 11:09:42 AM »
Im selling my 1991 318is. 176xxx miles. For starters the engine is dead. Another family member drove it, cracked the pan and drove it until the engine seized...Sad.
Currently it is sitting on H&R springs and Tockico Sport Shocks. I will remove and part em out if you dont want them included in the sale. Also the radio/speakers will be taken out as well unless the new owner wants to pay for them. A few rust areas that i will take pictures of tonite and post. The bottle Caps are also painted (poorly) black. The car ran perfect until it was killed.the front bumper is a little crooked from a low speed bump into a Audi. (pictures to follow) other than that its a very clean body with a few dents and such. Here are some older pictures http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/560059121MjtcFF?vhost=home-and-garden
Would make a great car for a swap. I just bought a E34 535 and want this gone.
More pictures tonight when Im home.
Im asking $1000 with the suspension, $800 without. I want it gone by the end of the month. prices dont include the stereo which im assuming no one will be interested in.
Car is located in south jersey about 15 minutes outside of philly.

Engine + Driveline / M42 idle issue and gunk in the intake
« on: September 21, 2009, 03:44:37 PM »
I used AC hose to replace the collapsing one. Its so thick you really cant even bend it.

Yes cleaning up the mess of hoses does wonders for idling, ive noticed throttle response is better too. I used AC hose to replace the collapsing hose, probably overkill, but its what i had. just remember to clean EVERYTHING while your in there. Esp the ICV.

I fixed it! It turned out that the hose goin from the icv was collapsing once it warmed up. i replaced it with a much thicker one and its running perfectly now!

im getting code 1216 - Designates error with potentiometer in Throttle Position sensor. Some later model cars have potentiometer, as opposed to switch (TPS) found on majority of e30 s. This code will be active if inappropriate sensor values are read by control unit, and although presence of this fault code may indicate bad potentiometer, wire harness connection at the sensor is common issue (corroded, loose connection, or broken).
I replaced the tps last week...any more ideas? how would i know if thats the problem or if it might be the maf or ecu?

The problem is now partially fixed. I cleaned up the mess of hoses (that contained many leaks) and simplified them, cleaned my injectors, cleaned everything, replaced the gaskets and put in new plugs. the idle is now fine, and throttle response is much better, but a few times the engine wouldnt do what the pedal was doin and would slow down and sputter, then suddenly speed ahead. anymore ideas?

Nevermind on the sensor fixing the problem. the car idles a little bit better for a min, then idles like crap shaking the entire car, when i push the gas it doesnt always result in the engine doing anything. Its backfiring ALOT. and turning off, usually right after i back out and take my foot off the gas. more ideas?!

so i finally had the time to put a new TPS in tonite and the problem seems to be cured, but the idle is still crap and it will cut out. I need new hoses and im guessing i need to clean the ICV. Thanks for the help !

if i have to change the cps one more time......ill measure it and get back to you tommorow. i should be able to take my skid plate off blindfolded by now.
the tach seemed normal apart from nothing happening when i stepped on the gas.
when this was happening the engine sounded like a v8 dragster idling all rough, and a few misfire/backfire. it happened when going slightly downhill, and then hitting a long uphill. i dont know if the angle of the car would have anything to do with it.

well i was enjoying the drive, until my car started dying, the engine would lose speed, the thottle wouldnt do anything, you could floor it and nothing would happen, it would just slowly die. if i blipped the throttle alot i could get it above 3000 and it would run. it sounded really rough like it wasnt firing correctly. stomp test gave me 1234 which is :
1234 Vehicle Speed Sensor (Speedometer A Signal) This code is stored when no plausible speed signal is detected while driving. The requirements are an engine speed >2500 rpm and under load for more than 10 seconds. Check the speedometer function and the wire to the DME . Also check for codes in the Combi Unit (Instrument Cluster).
the spedometer seemed to be displaying the correct speed, (a few mph off as always) so im not sure what im looking for. any ideas?
