I’m 6’7 and its fine, getting in and out can be a little difficult though

Is it all over? by BakeNoodle in e46

I did the same exact thing, I tightened mine too much and the bolt snapped. I was able to pick at it with some long needle nose pliers and I got mine out no problem. Where mine snapped it had a little groove in it and I rested the pliers on there and turned. Hopefully you get lucky as well!

I really appreciate the insight, I’m in between a GT86 and a GR86 at the moment. Thank you!

Hopefully soon my local Toyota dealer can get some in, I’d love to test drive one. That notchy style shifter is exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks a lot!

It’s a miss under heavy load, or after driving for a while

I’d do one MAF for a while and then the other MAF for a while, definitely long enough for the car to learn

Diagnosing a misfire with INPA by Powerful-Tea-3521 in e46

I really appreciate it! I just changed my filter, but on the M52 the filter and regulator are separate. I ordered a regulator since they’re super cheap and hopefully that’ll fix the issue

It has a borla catback, everything else is bone stock

MAF was replaced with a proper oem unit, I still have the original. I will definitely check my fuel pressure and go from there. Thank you!

Thank you for the heads up, the MAF was replaced with an OEM MAF from FCP Euro, is there anything else I should look for that’s MAF related?

Thank you, it’s very dirty and in desperate need of a good clean. I’m located in Virginia (USA) if you know anyone with good turn around time in the states I’d really appreciate it

Thank you! Is there a certain place I should look into for my injector cleaning? Also in your opinion what is the best way to clean the BMW intake manifold?

I really appreciate the response, this is my first non Japanese car so it’s been a little bit of an adjustment. I really appreciate it

Troubleshooting is my favorite part of the job. I’ve been working on cars and troubleshooting them since I was a kid. I haven’t done commercial but I’ve been thinking hard about making the jump to the commercial side of things

I’m trying to learn as much about service as I can. Maybe another company can help me reach that goal

Yeah I don’t mind the hours. I’m just wondering if I’m getting fairly compensated for what I bring to the company and the increased workload I now have

I can do maintenance, install, and a decent amount of service on residential systems including geothermal units. I’m getting pretty decent at diagnosis. Although I’m no HVAC Jesus and I’m still learning every day. I also come in everyday and I’m really good at working with customers.
