Spotted at Kroger in Washington today! Hey Horns, I would like to get together with you to look her over to assess it's current set-up and most effective upgrades. BTW - Do you have any diagnosis experience or information on these cars for the following? Evan has been experiencing random engine sputtering and dying as he drives here and there. After it dies sometimes it will re-start right away. Other times the engine will just spin over like it wants to start, but it wont for 10-20 minutes. The check engine light only comes on at this time. If you have no ideas, I will take it into K&M for diagnosis. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Hey Horns, I would like to get together with you to look her over to assess it's current set-up and most effective upgrades. Sure thing! I will be around most all of next week... trying to get some last minute wrenching in before the NASA weekend at Autobahn. Lemme know what days/times work for you guys. Like duald says, fuel filter is suspect, or could be fuel delivery related. I just threw out a working fuel pump a few years ago that I now wish I had kept. With a CEL, should be able to pull the code and make it much easier. First thing to buy is the Bentley manual for e36. Great reference for DIY stuff. I also recommend finding an "Inspection" checklist for that year and giving the car a once-over. There are some common problem areas on these cars (bushings, cooling system, etc) but most are fairly easy to address. Hollar back and we'll gtg next week or something. |

Nice ride, Evan. Brings back memories of my '93 325i. It was a great car. Not as good as the Evo I traded it for, but a great car nonetheless.

Thanks for the links Collin. The code reader worked fine and it came up with the following three codes: Crank sensor Throttle position sensor AC Compressor I've done a little research but haven't found out if the 92 325i uses only the cam angle sensor or both crank and cam sensor. One of the mechanics at K&M mentioned the cam sensor may be the issue before I checked the codes as if it were common. So I've cleared the codes and I'm waiting to see which one(s) come back. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Well so far the crankshaft sensor code is the only one that has returned along with the continued random stalling issue. I just need to narrow down the cam or crank sensor or both.

Have you searched those codes on bimmerforums? Might be able to find out which is most likely to fail. I'm sure you guys aren't the first to have this code.

Evan lost #5 cylinder to a bad oil leak and starvation a number of months ago.
We recently picked-up a doner 94 325i with a manual transmission and 135k on the engine for $500. The going is slow, but we are in the process of removing all of the good items from the donor and will soon be refreshing Evan's 325i. He has already upgraded the headlights, emblems and stereo while she's been down. This thing makes working on a DSM look like child's play.... Such a pain in the ass!

Oh...before we pulled the donor BMW out of the garage we installed a 302 Ford V8 into it. Mid engine style. It didn't take nearly as long as I thought either!

Haha...yeah. That's the 302 from the RX7 that had the rod knocking. I figured I'd just scrap it as opposed to trying to sell it for $25-$50.
The BMW slant 6 is a big engine for what it is. Strange looking. Plenty of room in there for a V8 if it didn't cost so much to convert over! We've got everything off of the topside of Evan's engine. Now I just need to get under it to remove the exhaust and transmission so we can pull the engine. Here are a couple of progress pics:

Well, last night Evan and I finished getting the old engine and automatic transmission out of his 325i. (See attached pictures)
Friday we are going to go buy all the nickle and dime gaskets and fluids required to install the donor engine. Also supposed to hear back from Bruce at B&M transmissions this week about what it's going to take to fix the manual transmission. Then Saturday we will roll the BMW out to power wash all the built up gunk from the old oil seeping engine. We are getting there:

Found out the 1-2 shift hub and synchros are junk in the donor cars manual transmission. A new shift hub from BMW costs $400 and labor will be a fair $200. $600 is a bit more than we wanted to spend. So we are on standby while Evan searches for another used transmission or the parts. Maybe Dan can get a new 1-2 shift hub assembly for a decent price.

If you got instructions...I've got a press if you want to try to rebuild it.

I'm still not well versed on transmissions, I helped rebuild the one out of my bro's MR2 (blew out 4th gear and syncro's), so have a rough idea of what's going on at least. You can probably handle it yourself with the correct press/tools, or if you have the parts and the trans disassembled, I can probably get my old man to change it (supposing it's just changing parts on the shaft)
