When a brake master cylinder fails, the seals inside the brake master cylinder are what go south, allowing brake fluid to flow past them and allowing your foot...
My experience has been that when the booster is not working properly the pedal feels very hard, yet requires a great deal more pressure to get the vehicle to...
Plenty of info around on this one try some of the 02 sites, there is also some good info on E30zone. These engines like more compression, also the squish gap...
I have a 318i that sat for about a year. It ran fine before it was parked. It will start and run for a while as long as you don't hit the gas then it will shut...
... My first thought is fuel gone bad. Did you use a fuel stabilizer? If not and the tank was partly full, you may have some water in there. The injectors...
I also think that old gasoline could be the culprit. One way of syphoning the old gas from the tank would be to remove the rear seat bottom cushion to access...

Hello everyone; My name is Kathy, I am not mechanically inclined or even good with electronics *sorry* Hubby has a 1984 BMW that has alot of new parts on it....

Well, I just became a member... so HI. Of course I already have a question to those of you who are mechanically minded. I have an 84 318i that idles...
Just found another wire. Comes off the same bundle as the 2 coil wires, but just hangs. Has a squarish connector, plugged into a connector, but no wire going...
Hi Randy, Why would you become a member of this forum unless you didn’t have a question? :-) You didn’t mention if your problem was with warm or cold idle,...
Thanks so much for your reply Bob. My car definitely has 2 O2 sensors. And they are both 3 wire. The one on the downpipe is hooked up. The one on the...
Officially, the O² sensor was placed on the exhaust manifold on the 1984 model 318i cars. Officially, BMW moved the sensor to the down pipe later, for the...
My guess is the reason you have two O2 sensors is that they couldn't remove the sensor on the manifold where it is supposed to be and just cut a new hole and...
The one on the exhaust manifold is the original O2 sensor location. Chances are it couldn't be removed or as Bob says a new exhaust pipe with O2 hole was...
Yea, its a little more than a couple hundred. 900 to 1200 rpm... so about 300. But really irritating. Thanks for the reply... If you can think of...
This sounds much like the idle control valve sticking, or at least not working properly. It couldalso be the idle control module malfunctioning. Either one...
So I am new to here. My name is JD. I have an 85' 318I sedan. All stock. So I have been fighting an idle problem since I got the car. I have put enough new...
When I hear about an idle problem with this car, I immediately think about vacuum leaks or a sticking ICV. For the first one, you have to work through all the...
Expanding on what Brian has said, cold idle problems are often the result of improper air/fuel mixture. The cold start valve squirts extra gas into the intake...
Bob, I would venture to say that I have a fuel problem. The PO said that he personally replaced the injectors and that has worried me since day one, since the...
Well, with a 25 year old car, you might be right! Good luck! From: 318iE30@yahoogroups.com [mailto:318iE30@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of JD Cantu Sent:...
