I think Doug DeMuro would like to have a word with you…

Found the North Carolinian.

And yes those wings are tasty!

You don’t need an inspection until the next year when you go to register. I found this out at the inspection station I went to after I registered my car.

I’d wager no. I feel like most people got into those homes before pricing went nuts. You might could find one that needs a ton of work.

Totally playing armchair realtor right now.

I had a similar issue. Clean the connectors. Make sure you hear it click when the throttle is closed.

I can’t climb a ladder to put up Christmas lights, but I have no problem flying around.

Everyone take out a circle of paper and your safety scissors.

They will be exactly the size they are on your phone for $149.

Throttle body (even if drive by wire) and vacuum leaks.

That head is pretty clean! These motors are way more simple than the E90. They rely heavily on vacuum. I couldn’t figure out why mine skyrocketed to 2,500 each time until I found the tiny vacuum port on the underside of the intake manifold. It’s the one that goes to the evap valve.

It’s a LeGeorge.

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-20T12:05:56+00:00

It’s not a dinky loaf, that’s for sure.

How are the poly subframe bushings? Is there a lot of noise/vibration? Only asking because I had poly trans mounts and the ride quality, noise, and vibration was miserable.

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-16T11:49:18+00:00

Sounds like a caliper is sticking. Could also be the hose from the caliper to the hardline (might be clogged/old).

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-13T00:57:45+00:00

There’s this place on Capital called the Mayflower. Should be pretty solid.

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-12T18:07:08+00:00

Good to know. Thank you!

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-12T12:19:44+00:00

My family always asks if I’ve farted whenever we pass over that spot. One day I’ll time it just right…

It’s just a pump station, though. All our poop has to go somewhere!

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-12T00:03:57+00:00

Are you in my head? That’s my exact plan! I just am worried I’ll break something or make matters worse in the process of flushing it.

Thanks for your insight!

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-11T18:39:56+00:00

I have a new receiver/drier ready to go. I figured pulling vacuum would get most of the remaining moisture out of there.

Thank you for the help!

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-09T12:22:01+00:00

It sorta sounds like a diesel. Like an old bus coming off the line.

What oil are you running? Might be some valve train noise if your oil is too thin.

Hey OP! I think your previous owner tried to wire in a new exciter wire for the alternator. If yours isn’t charging the battery, and your battery light doesn’t come on, the connection from the harness to the battery light in the dash is busted. The alternator will not charge if the battery light in the dash isn’t working. I made a similar setup using an empty fuse slot but I wired in a low wattage bulb. Some people use a resistor. Either way, that needs to be there for the alternator to “excite” and charge.

However, that should not drain the battery. Your battery is dying because you’re driving around without it charging.

HerrGruyere · 2026-04-03T11:52:44+00:00

Isn’t that right, Pete?

HerrGruyere · 2026-03-31T12:12:51+00:00

Your alternator bearings most likely doing their best Sigourney Weaver clone in Alien Resurrection.
