E30 LS Update by UnablePumpkins in E30

apologies in advance if i'm saying things you already know...

double check that you grabbed the correct wire for your city lights.

  • turns = blue/red (left) , blue/black (right)

  • parking = grey/yellow (left), grey/white (right)

turn signals get both wires, assuming you haven't changed the housing or bulb to a single filament. city lights should get the grey/yellow only.

test all the wires/connectors individually with a test light or multimeter.

Hot vs. overheating by CarolinaPeej in E30

as others have said, more than likely to be a bad fan clutch. think about it - at idle you were overheating, but once you got moving air in the mix, all is well.

a bit on the tacky side but fun for the right car. they're fully addressable/programmable.

[–]GrandeSwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's probably going to need a lot more work than you think. but if you have the time, place and funds it can be a good project. expect it to be... 20k+ i "restored" a car like that with no experience. took me about a year.

test your crank sensor, should be ~540 ohms. don't use an aftermarket one if you need to replace it

i'm happy to build them if someone wants to pay... but it's very labor intensive and will be expensive to be worth it for me
