Thats all the parts that I recieved from BMW also! it did the trick on mine! Plug first then circlip, its also sprung from inside, so takes a bit of pressure on that plug thing to allow the circlip to fit. I did however get a lot of oil down my arm as I did it in the car park in my lunch break :eek:...

My Laptop problems seem to escalate at every turn!!!! :x having established that the cd rom would not work, I bought a USB memory stick and loaded the AEB leonardo software onto this, unfortunatley however the laptop could not see the USB!!! missing driver or something, so win98 disc inserted to loa...

Oh yes its got RS232, its a pretty olde worlde laptop! :mad: I just need to get the damn thing out of the dos and load on an operating system windows 98 will do fine if i can get it to recognise the cd rom!!! I will let you know when I get it running or not during the weekend, fingers crossed! I don...

I tell you what Gareth, have you managed to build an interface lead which works?? I will be at my Dads this weekend sometime trying to reinstall a working operating system to my old laptop, if it works and I can get it to see the leonardo software I have downloaded onto a USB stick, I will let you k...

i feel like i should go and sit on the naughty step for 28 minutes now... :cry: :D in my defence , my kit was removed from the exact same engine and i never expected it to run. the fact it did run was a bonus though! :D the search for a cheap laptop continues..... PMSL!! I was working on a similar ...

Its interesting to read the last few posts and see people having similar problems to myself! When I first set used my LPG on the 325i I had not connected the O2 sensor or the TPS and it actually ran fine, I then connected the TPS the next day and it would run ok, but stall every time I pulled up and...

Further to my trying to wire up a connection to a cheap lap top to check the settings, can anyone confirm the pin numbers to connect from the 9 pin D connector and which of the 4 pins on the lpg ecu these connect too??? Brian moooore kindly sent me a couple of wiring diagrams, but im not sure I full...

Try here, this helped when I did mine!

A VERY valid point!!

I had been led to believe that condensation would form on the bare metal walls of a tank and then contaminate the fuel?

Also of course if you run very low on fuel there is the risk of sucking any general debris from the bottom of the tank into the fuel system.

I read a lot about car storage for putting my e34 M5 away, and surprisingly they recommend NOT allowing the vehicle to idle when you first start it! this is because the oil pump is not working at sufficient pressure to feed the top of the engine when its idling. The recomendation was to vary the rev...

I have my fuel just over a quarter, but i am a little concerned about getting condensation in the tank? as I always kept it full on petrol.

I have already put in a subtle switch to disable the fuel pump! I did that some months ago after some scumbags tried to steal my car unsuccessfully!

Its Absolutely Awesome!!!!! :D I havent stopped smiling yet! :cool: I used to have a range rover that my dad had converted when LPG first came out and he gave it to me (it was getting on a bit then) and even that was cheaper to run than my 2.2 Honda. There is something about fitting it yourself (for...

Top Man!! emails recieved thanks very much for that! I see maplin part no's, so can i order all the necessary cable and conectors from them and just assemble as per circuit diagram!

Thanks

will no doubt have more questions later! thanks very much for your help!

Also................. having connected up all the wires for the LPG ECU I have found that I do not know where to connect the Orange wire from the ECU which I believe is for temperature?
does it go to the blue or brown sensor? and if so which colour wire?

Thanks!

PM Sent! Thanks Brian!
Drove home on gas last night!

went to fill up at my local LPG staion this morning and pump out of order!

Excellent! Thanks Brian! its nearly there now. I have downloaded a copy of the leonardo software as my Landi Renzo is apparently a rebadged AEB Leonardo, Would you know how I can make up a suitable lead to connect??? they are all over £40 on the ebay! which i think is a bit steep? Any help very grat...

Oh, Ok! I cant see where it goes as it disappears into the black loom stuff, but now you say that I can see another thin red/white going to the fuel pump relay which must be the other end. If thats the case I need to cut the thick red/white and join its ends to my yellows on the lpg ecu. Can you rec...

After reading as many LPG install threads as possible, I recently embarked upon my own installation 8O on my '88 325i Touring. All is as expected fairly straightforward. The problem I currently have is this..... on the main white DME relay, according to all the threads ive read i need to intercept t...

I've just changed the rubber gaskets which seal the plastic vents (hidden behind the bumper on each side just behind the rear wheels) as both were split and were allowing a surprising ammount of water into my touring. This finally sorted the problem! although I suspect some of the other parts change...

Excellent! Thanks Brian!! I was a little unsure as the old pipe has an olive one end, male (the vapouriser valve end) and its a flare inside a female thread at the tank end.

Can any one confirm if I need a brake pipe flaring tool to flare the ends of the 6mm gas pipe from the tank to the vapouriser? I am going to be fitting a second hand kit from a 535i E34 to my 325i E30 over the next few days and using new copper pipe. I have obtained the pipe and just ordered a set o...

That is a vacuum hose from the inlet manifold to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. that said i dont know why it wont tick over with it connected, I would imagine its been pulled off to compensate for some other failed or misadjusted component, No doubt someone with much more knowledge will be along soon....

Paypal payment sent!!

Many Thanks!!

Hope its not the fuel return valve because if I have to change the fuel pump theyre quite expensive

Dizzy cap and arm are New! replaced only 2 months ago! coil and leads I have not done yet, but plugs are new.

Thanks Beemaboy and Martinaston!! I think I will try the fuse 11 trick tonight and see if that helps,
had not heard about the fuel return problem!! that could be the case also but obviously be happy if its the injectors as thats prob easier to fix

CHeers Liam, When I changed the TPS i found the Throttle Butterfly was closed!! at idle so opened that to recommended setting, however I did notice my plugs have gone whiter reecently which indicates weak mixture, so maybe need to close a bit more? however, why does it start ok when pointing uphill?...

Any of you guys manage to find a cause for this??? As I seem to have the same problem still!!!! So far I have replaced Both temp sensors (blue and Brown) Brand new BMW parts Idle Control valve (and cleaned it and it definitely is ok as idle is perfect) TPS Throttle Position switch (Brand New BMW par...

It drives beautiful mate, No problem at all apart from starting, its really strange! it idles fine if its started on a very slight uphill gradient but needs throttle to start on flat and if slight downhill forwards and been overnight it is a pig seems like running on 4 out of 6! and will not idle, j...

Fowler , I Just changed the Fuel Pressure regulator this weekend!!! thanks for the suggestion. Globulator, I am wondering if it could be the flap on the AFM as I have replaced nearly everything else! bear in mind the slope is very slight!! its so small I thought it could not possibly make a differen...

No Other Suggestions then?????????? there must be something obvious I am missing which causes my 320 to start pointing uphill fine and run like S**t pointing downhill

Maybe? it was replaced 9 months ago, but unit was secondhand, can this be affected by car being pointed up or downhill? before I spend yet more cash for no result.

Please Help Technical people!!! Further to my earlier post 'No cold idle without throttle on start up' which was some time ago now. http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=57423&highlight=cold+idle+throttle+start I am STILL having the same problem EXCEPT that if the car is le...
