Thanks to Mr. Spyonu2007 I FINALLY found a car!
 It is a 1992 BMW 325i. 2.5L I6. 189hp/184tq. 4spd Automatic w/ electronic over-ride. Classy, moderately fast, and most of all... the ladies LOVE it!

QUOTE (Hornswoggler @ Jul 6 2009, 02:36 AM)  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

did you do the obvious like replace fuel filter?
also had a similar prob on the mustang when the distributor sensor went bad, but would guess that one's electronic/coil packs -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra

QUOTE (awd4kicks @ Jul 6 2009, 07:26 PM) 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.
