Crossle Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Myself and Heelside work at The Northend Wrench (614)-263-4978, we work on a fair share of European cars, but we are scheduling like a week out as usual. BoostedGTP (Carl) on here works over at Acceleration (614)-436-8085 on N. High Street, they work on European stuff only for the most part.

Mojoe Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Carl, Chris at understeer.com worked with me on my Bimmer when I had it. Great guy. Might want to try and hit him up through his site. I never had an issue with Chip at Auto Assets either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostedgtp Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Carl, what codes are you getting? The most common source for a vacume leak on those 3 series (I think thats you have) that we see are the intake bellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostedgtp Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Carl does the car make any wierd sounds or drive strange? Can you look at live data and see the fault count. Does it set the code right after its cleared or do you have to drive it. Those are the only codes right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Car drives ok after clearing the codes,at moderate throttle only,when you put you foot in it the ses light reappears and it will idle like crap,then switch the car off it drives ok at low throttle and will trigger again at wide open.

boostedgtp Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 If you havent already done it, maybe check fuel pressure. Are the plugs and fuel filter very old? How many miles are on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Just did the plugs and filter.Car has 110k,the fuel pump was my next test,what is the correct fuel pressure?there looks like their is a small nipple on the top/front of the fuel rail connect into?if that does not work I will come in and have it tested.
