He has an '81 with the L-jet if he has the combo relay: Clean the tips of the fuses and the holder clips. Here is a link to check/fix for the combo relay: http://www.firstfives.org/faq/ljet/combo_fix.html

What is wrong with my car?

that 10psi reading sure is a red flag to me. I'd be dropping all other checks and start back again with testing your Fuel Pressure. I bought this little cheapo gauge from Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=92699 its not bad for $20 or sometimes even cheaper than that when it's on sale. I was able to T it in on my E36 and point it towards the windshield so I could watch it while I blipped the throttle...

Oh crap, I forgot, Taking pictures of the e24 won't help you because I have I've got everything running RCA's to the back with two after market amps, one for the sub, and then another for my mids and highs.

DJ im not sure why your mileage is that low on the highway, or is that combined mileage? I havent tracked my city mileage. Do be honest, im trying to avoid it because i know itll be bad until i get my foot out of the loud pedal. It is very rewarding to do all the work on the car and reep the rewards as well! I wouldnt want to know how much it wouldve cost to have a garage swap out the diff and replace the subframe bushings...YIKES!!! I was...

I believe you are still dealing with an erratic or faulty CTS (coolant temp sensor)or the plug, connection or the resistor issue. That sensor talks to the motronic unit and provides temp data to the ECU for proper fuel mixture depending on the engine temp. High idle usually means it thinks the engine is cold and gives a richer mixture which yields a higher than normal idle. Also make sure your throttle lever on the throttle body is resting...

nice car, even better that it doesnt have the later E23 HVAC system. That would be a nice car for a little sprucing up.
Lose the steering wheel though. Those things are like bus steering wheels.

Edit: I checked the calculator and those should be correct. I could have sworn E32 tires were much taller (225/60/15 is the stock size for E32). What's the offset on your wheels? Maybe it's not enough.

Hey guys,
Like the title states, I need a black shifter boot and the plastic gaiter thingy that attaches it to the shifter console. I also need a fog light knob, and the little plastic trim panel that covers the right side screw for the gauge cluster. If anyone has those things for sale let me know please, TIA.

Style 5s were available in 16x8 ET23 on the E38s. They are basically a direct fit if you run a 205/55/16 (I didn't need spacers up front) but if you want to run a 225/50 you will most likely need a 3-5mm spacer. I'm not 100% sure I understand your question but hopefully this helps.

Sorry, nothing rare there. Just an 'i' that's gone missing from the trunk. That often seems to happen during a repaint. The ebay listing is unavailable through that link, but 'i' stands for 'injection', so that's pretty easy to check.
As for an " E24 on the way to an 850", these two cars really don't have anything in common with one another - apples and oranges.

i think the hardest part of this is getting the dash off and having no dash for a month, but i do spend most my time in corvallis, OR, just north of medford.

I think yours are for an E21 - earlier style than the ones in the later pics. I've always associated the squared- off side bolsters with the later E28-based 6er.
BTW - ease off on the apostrophe My initial reaction was "Recaro's what?"

pull the pump out and check the screen.
you can also unhook the fuel line/return line at the end of the fuel rail, (the front of the car). And measure how much gas is being drained into a suitable container.
