I think I have most ,if not all of the parts for PS conversion , you dont need to remove the engine but it is quite a big job.An e36 rack is better if you can find one.I am also wreaking 2 e30 so I can help with the other parts too Cheers Graeme

The same wire that signals the head unit to switch on & off (usually the yellow wire on an aftermarket head unit)

Gus I didnt mean you should wire it like that for good .......just to check where the fault was .If the remote cable on the head unit isnt working use the ACC output instead ,at least that way the amp will be switched on & off with the key

Converting a e30 to rhd is easy. Go for it

Ive run 15.7 at Meremere in my 323i

2...... both in for sale forum on this site

Buy one of mine ,please please please....... Ive got to eat

Dirty injectors

Are you sure?I thought that it was only the M42 engined 318i's that have a cam chain. As far as I know, the M10 engines still have a cam belt. Oh yeah...I am talking about the E30 here. Cheers M10 chain (318 chrome bumper)M20 belt M30 chain M40 belt (318 plastic bumper)

rxhoon I have the door for $80 & the dash for $50 .If your interested PM me or call 021 1367007 Cheers Graeme

Ollie your L-jet idle problem sounds like the water heated air bypass valve might be stuck in the "hot" posistion . Its the thing on the side of the throttle body with 2 water hoses attached to it .Maybe try cleaning it out (they corrode inside & get stuck) & see if it runs any better. The vacuum plunger that Andrew is talking about is only their to hold the butterfly in the correct posistion for starting ( so the driver doesnt have to touch the gas pedal ) & shouldnt be coming into play with the engine at idle . The temp sensor or temp/time switch or cold start injector could also be at fault but these are all easy to eliminate , just disconnect each of them 1 by 1 if the engine runs better with each of them connected they are probably not at fault but if their is no change when you disconnect then they arent working .Note- you must do the test while the engine is still cold as none of these components has an effect on the idle speed once the engine is warm (execpt the temp sensor)

Book??? What makes you think I can read

Do you have the original bonnet for it & how have the skirts been attached??

Grant do you have your foot on the gas when you start it ? This can upset the ecu as it expects the T.P.S to be at idle & when it "sees" its not it tries to adjust the idle down to compensate .Then the ecu thinks the engine is about to stall & throws the ICV open again sending the revs up . The problem get compounded if the ICV is sticking a bit , the engine responds to the ICV faster than the ecu can move the ICV & the revs start to yoyo . It can also be an intake leak, faulty TPS ,bad temp sensor etc . The printed circuit board inside the ICV can get worn out just in one place creating a dead spot ,usually exactly where it needs to be for correct idle speed but cleaning it in alcohol can help if its just gummed up .Can you hear a slight humming from it when you switch the ignition on ? usually if its dead it wont make any noise

Yeah ,come & see it on friday if you want ,call me for the address 021 1367007 or home 2997942 or work 6222904 Cheers Graeme
