My 91 has been giving me so many problems.  Just yesterday I had to replace a water hose that went from the block to the throttle body (very hard to get to, I had to remove the intake manifold).

And then less that 24 hours later, this happened.  I've been driving my car all morning, I maybe put 40 miles on it, when I go to my friends house.  I park my car out front and go inside for maybe 4 hours.  I come out start my car and run it for 1 to 2 minutes (definitely no more than 2 minutes, I was pulling out of a tight parking spot).  By the time I get out of the parking spot, my car is smoking up a storm.  Tons of smoke. So at this point I wonder what the hell could be smoking this badly after 2 minutes,  I immediately park it and search the engine bay.  I fine that the smoke was coming from the compartment right in front of the fire wall.  I removing it and see that some of my wire's have melted down to the copper inside,  Another wire on the passenger side is also fried.  So now my car hardly starts and when it does it won't stay on.:mad:  My friend thinks one wire just shorted and got really hot really fast.


How did this happen?  Has it ever happened to anyone else?  How hard of job is to replace?

Engine + Driveline / Engine leaking coolant
« on: July 09, 2009, 07:30:24 PM »
My Engine is leaking coolant from some place weird.  Its not one of the 2 main hoses or the radiator.  It looks like its coming from someplace underneath the intake manifold.  Where could this leak be coming from.  I have a 91 e30 with an m42 head and block from 95.  I'm praying its not a cracked cylinder head.  :confused:

Has anyone did this?  What is needed?   What is the easiest way to do it?  I'm not doing it my self so I would need to tell my mechanic what he needs to do.

Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / E36 m42 to E30?
« on: June 05, 2009, 09:05:27 AM »
What will I need to do to put an 1992 e36 m42 into my 1991 e30 318i.  I've been trying to do some research and it seams the only thing I might need to change is the intake manifold.  Is this true?  Is there any thing else?
