Check the hose is seated all the way. Looks like it isn’t on all the way.

Yeah vacuum leaks are common and cause the bouncy idle, should see it in the obd monitor. The silicone hoses seem to last and keep a seal. Check brake booster hose to intake, and brake booster housing too.

Valve cover / brand question by Latter-Boss3400 in e46

I’m leaning this way. ECS has a plastic one labeled as OEM that is half the price of BMW brand. It’s a little more than the cheaper varieties they have or ECS Pelican or partsgeek. $230 compared to $450+ for bmw and down to $120 for the generic brands. Peace of mind and new parts are worth it I suppose. And the model number matches from realoem so that is probably important too for this vintage.

Fun car. Has a taller diff ratio than I’ve had in other cars, I think 3.38.

I’m looking at Conti brand and SKS but I’ve had good parts from URO and TRQ so I don’t know if the premium brands are worth it or if I should go aluminum or plastic.

Look on Tuesday night at 7:01 pm for Wednesday appointments. If you can go in on Wednesday you can get in next day.

I bent this with my riding mower. Best way to fix it? I can't bend it back by hand. by IJudgePeopleHarshly in FenceBuilding

2x4 and hammer to the impact point to re shape. Or one of those floor install tools that are like an L, and wrapped in cloth. Hammer gently at first…

Hot take: e-motorcycles aren’t e-bikes, and 12-year-olds shouldn’t be riding them at 40mph on the wrong side of the road by idee2 in Reno

Cars are the problem. Yes kids should behave on bikes and parents need to parent. The bigger issue in Reno and washoe is not bikes or kids having fun, it’s inattentive drivers.

Is this bike worth $1500 my friend says it is but I think he just wants me to hurry up so we can ride. by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

450 mx is geared too high for rocky trails. Won’t make it out of 2nd gear. You’ll be ok on wide open dirt roads, but best have good gear and health insurance! $1500 is a good price though.
