Mine has been making this same rattline noise for a few months now. The car now sits in my backyard until the warmer months when i can recruit dude and febi, hopefully, to help me out with this.

How-To's / E28 Motor mounts

« on: May 25, 2007, 07:36:33 AM »

Has anyone here had the (supposedly) infamous problem with the engine mounting ears cracking off of the subframe?  M20 guys have had this issue.  A stiffer mount probably is not something that would help ni that department.  After using these mounts on this car for 9 months I saw no cracks there, but who knows.

Yeah, i had this issue with the stock mounts. Which led me to change the mounts since the subframe was coming out anyway. After installing these mounts, the throttle actually felt more crisp (possibly due to the screwdriver syndrome). Anyway, i barely notice the extra vibration so i would definately say that this is a nice alternative to the stock m42 mounts.

Engine + Driveline / Engine dies on hot starts

« on: May 23, 2007, 01:57:24 PM »

Well i just change my vacuum hoses last year hoping that would've solved my problem but it didnt, I do have a few other things i know need to be changed such as thermostat and o2 sensor and possibly injectors so we'll see. Car has been running like this for quite sometime and still feels strong once it does cut out after a warm start so its not that big of a deal to me just yet. I'll just do it all slowly as money and time become available and hopefully one day, i'll have fixed the problem. If you guys get any results, please keep us posted.

your AFM and ISV or spares if you've got them? Trying to diagnose a problem I have and dont want to throw $300 at it in parts.

PM me.

Where's ur sense of adventure? I'd lent you mine but I kinda need it. If you want to drive out to queens, swap em, then swap em back, we can arrange something. Let me know, i'll see if we can get the whole crew out to watch the jersey boy work. Or maybe we can drive out to you and you can show us those windy roads.

Engine + Driveline / Engine dies on hot starts

« on: May 23, 2007, 08:18:56 AM »

It boils down to finding if it's rich, or lean during a hot restart. One or more leaky injectors would cause a rich condition hot, but would make a great start when cold, due to a bit of xtra fuel. I've seen fuel pressure regulators that start leaking into the intake thru the tiny vacuum line. These could really mess with your mind.......I'm wondering if this just developed, or if it has been ongoing.

Been on going for me. I believe rich or lean was the reason why o2 sensor was mentioned where ever i read it. And i've also been told that im running pretty rich so my fuel mixture is probably the cause of my issue.

I doubt the o2 sensor has anything to do with a hard cranking issue. I have used the generic and OEM sensors in the past...I personally prefer the OEM ones.

I dont believe its a hard cranking issue, the car starts up fine, however, it does seem like its not getting the right mixture. Almost like its getting too much fuel and flooding itself out. Once the car does cut out, it will start up fine and run normal, atleast mine does.
