Does anyone know for sure if e34 front strut shocks are compatible with e30 51 mm front struts?
Thanks

Re: BMW e30 m50 swap
Don't take my word for this, but i think you'll get better fuel economy at about the same power from an m42.

Re: Too high injection signal/injection pulse width at idle
Maybe the pot wire is disconnected. It's a black and white wire witch should have a plug somewhere in the engine loom under the bonnet. Check if that wire is plugged in. If you can't find it i'll make a photo of it later

Re: Too high injection signal/injection pulse width at idle
You only know what's going on if you do the pressure test and see the results. Check for fuel pressure increasing as you open the throttle fast or disconnecting the regulator vacuum hose. It should jump up from 2.5 to 3 bar.

All you need is a t piece a bit of fuel hose and a 3bar gauge. That's how i did mine.DaniTD wrote:Again with my every-day-getting-worse idle in my 318i with m40 engine

Re:
He said that injectors were rebuilt. If you loose power at the top of the rev range it cold be caused by a lack of fuel. Check fuel pressure and see what values you get.

Re:
Yes, as long as rpm is the primary input to the ECU , when it detects a drop in engine speed caused by fuel pressure it shifts to another cell in the map with a grater pulse for injectors. As for the AFM in this case the value can only be used for diagnosing an air leak and has no impact on mixture ...

Re: Too high injection signal/injection pulse width at idle
Yeah, Brian is right there is no oxygen sensor to make the computer change injector opening. He is right, the drop in engine speed caused by a leak and therefore a lean condition could be compensated by a more opening of the icv and increase of injector opening time. How does it feel at higher loads...

Re: Too high injection signal/injection pulse width at idle
AFM can be seen in the screenshot in the LMM Up/Uv data. It's a bit under 0.2 and tehnical data it's between 0.2 and 0.3 at idle so it is a bit on the low side. Maybe a vacuum leak ?

Re: Too high injection signal/injection pulse width at idle
In that case, a high injector pulse width could be caused by an air leak or a low fuel pressure. Both of them could make the ECU increase injector opening time to compensate for lack of fuel, as long as the ignition system is in good working condition. I have the same problem with my m40, a serious ...

Re: Too high injection signal/injection pulse width at idle
I see you have some oxygen sensor data. Check if it's fluctuating from 200mv to 800mv. I see it's at 400mv in that screenshot and could be stuck, but i may be wrong.

Cooling system should be under pressure and operating at about 1.5 Bar .. no steam should escape from anywhere ... change the rad cap or chase the fault elsewhere

Re: Sunroof liner problems Please help.
hi,
no it's not that thick it's about the same thickness as the old one but it has a suede leather texture that i think isn't helping to slide smooth.
Anyone knows how the rain gutter should slide inside?
thank you

Check them by applying 12v from a battery ( be careful not to short the pins of the injector when doing so) and if they click ... they are free

It could also be one or two stuck fuel injectors if you say it stinks that bad of fuel. Check that they are clicking with the help of a long screwdriver placed on the body of the injector and the other end near your ear. Alternatively you could use a piece of tubing instead of the screwdriver as sug...

Re: E30 316i starting problems
Check the fuel pressure regulator, it might be broken. Disconnect the hose that goes to the intake manifold, if it's full of petrol, the pressure regulator diaphragm is gone. Here are some explanations and diagnostic procedures: http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Fuel#Fuel_Pressure_Regulator
