I had similar problems that were caused by the fuel regulator leaking fuel back into the intake through the presure sensing hose. To check it remove the...
Sorry for getting into this so late, but I've been away from a computer for a while. A couple of things you might want to look at: Bad contacts - I can't even...
I'm actually running 225/50-15s on the back with 7" rims, and have a set of OEM 6" rims with Nitto 225/50s (for when I used to go to the strip a lot). They...
Do the Maseratis idle as smoothly as a BMW 6? My 89 spyder idles at a constant RPM, but there is a lot more vibration coming from the engine than on the BMW. I...
Don't know how the 18 valve engines are, but I can make a coin stand still on top of my intake while running. It's close to no vibrations at all on my engine. ...
Hi Chiba, So far, replacing the crank sensor looked to be such a pain in the a**, that I chose to replace the air temp sensor instead (it's right in front of...
Hello, I have an 87 Spyder and the tach is not working. I tried to pull the instrumetn cluster off to see if there are any loose wires, but it seems stuck at...
Got some photos of your car with these 'BIG' tires on? My Si has the original 14x7s which seem a bit puny. Charles 87Si ... a set of OEM 6" rims with Nitto...
Check and clean the tach connection at the coil (the one further back -- toward the cabin). There are two small screws at the bottom of the instrument...
Thanks -- I'll try these things as soon as I dig up a feeler gauge (I know there's one in the toolbox somewhere).... ... with ... at ... hot), ... work ... up,...
I run 225-50-15 rear and 205-55-15 fronts and have for 15+ years. They look much better than the stock rims/tires and the there is a slight rake but it's not...
Hi all, i know this is a bit feeble but can anyone let me know if its possible to replace the rotor arm on a 2.8 without the *tool* thats listed in the manual?...
As far as I know, the rotor arm is just fastened with a clip going through it. I just pulled the clip out and changed the arm on mine... What tool are they...
There are only 2 screws at the bottom of the instrument cluster podplus a stabilizing bolt at the back that goes into a hole in the dash. Sometimes the vinil...
I replaced mine yesterday by driving out the pin with a very small screwdriver and a light tap of a hammer. Replaced the same way but with a small brass drift....
... There are 'physics' reasons why not. Any inline 6 (like BMW) has perfect primary and secondary balance, which basically means that the various forces of...
Actually you have to add another 6 cylinders to make it in perfect balance.. This is because the crank throws are at 120 degree offsets, not at 90 degree. So...
Regarding removing the instrument pod ... There are two types. My '85 has a square pod with the buttons down the sides of the pod. My '89 has a rounded pod -...
Hey Guys, I ordered my Walbro fuel pump GSL92 yesterday, but I just realized the discussion was regarding carbed Biturbos. Hence, I just cancelled my order....
Not sure of the color (I think maybe green), but if you look at the coils, take the one closest to the driver (e.g., furthest back). The very first wire...
That pump is for a FI car. The GSL395 is very similar to the original for a carb car but that is also rated for FI. Call them up if you want but if you do some...
