Engine + Driveline / 19# injectors with Mark D chip

« on: June 25, 2008, 08:13:28 AM »

sounds like the timing is off. im running 19# with no problems. my timing was off, and it ran shitty at idle, but seemed to run fine the rest of the time.

Ok, that sounds like the problem I'm having.  
So how do I adjust the timing now that everything is put back together?  What do I have to remove, can I just remove that front portion of the valve cover in front of the sprockets?  I sure hope I don't have to take everything apart again....

Engine + Driveline / 19# injectors with Mark D chip

« on: June 24, 2008, 09:53:08 AM »

Does anyone know if there is a problem swapping the stock injectors with 19# injectors and using a Mark D chip?
I just replaced my head gasket and upgraded the injectors in the process.  Now that I've got everything back together the engine runs rough and won't idle.  I thought I was being extra careful keeping the timing in place so I'm hoping that's not the problem.  The injectors are the only other major change I did.  I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what the problem could be other than the timing being off.
Also, the exhaust header gets super hot after running for only a couple of minutes.
Anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks

Engine + Driveline / Where can I find polyurethane diff bushings?

I'm looking to replace the bushing in the differential mount with a polyurethane one.  I've looked at all the places I usually by parts (Pelican, BMA, Turner, IE, etc.) and can't find one.  Where do you guys buy your polyurethane mounts?  I'm specifically looking for the kind you don't have to press in.

Thanks

Engine + Driveline / LSD questions

« on: September 28, 2007, 03:40:09 PM »

LSD was an option, 4.10 on the 318iS

So I know I have a 4.10 diff because that's what the tag on the diff says.  How can I tell if it is an LSD?  Are you saying that the 4.10 diff is the LSD option?

General Topics / Brake Booster Check Valve

« on: July 13, 2007, 08:00:16 AM »

Does anyone know the part number for the valve that is inline from the brake booster to the manifold?  The picture at the RealOEM site shows a different valve than the one on my car and doesnt list the part number.  

Thanks

Electrical / Brake Lining Light On?

« on: May 02, 2007, 01:03:41 PM »

I have the same problem with mine.  I've shorted the front sensor and replaced the rear one without installing it back into the pad.  I'm sure the sensors are closed but the light still stays on.  The electrical troubleshooting manual shows these signals going to the instrument cluster printed circuit board.  It also shows a switch on this board that closes when the sensors open.  I think the problem with mine is this switch or possibly a connection to the cluster.  I haven't had a chance to pull the cluster so I'm not completely sure.
