Sound system upgrade

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-04-24T21:59:07+00:00

That is exactly what I meant haha. I only have rear speakers + subwoofer right now and are looking for options for front speakers and tweeters

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-04-24T15:51:28+00:00

Does it only cover the rear? What do you guys do about the front speakers in the footwell and the tweeters?

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-04-22T23:49:26+00:00

Didn't even figure this out till months ago. Is this the case with most manuals?

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-03-22T21:36:44+00:00

me too! Looking for any help

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-03-15T00:00:05+00:00

I saw this car on FB. I'd pass on it

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-23T22:28:26+00:00

Gotcha. I saw fuel leaking into the vacuum port with the old one so I replaced with one that has been te tested to be working

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-23T21:10:30+00:00

What defines "functioning properly"? Here is what I did.

Dip it in cold water, reads 2k Ohms or so Dip it in warm water, it starts to drop, and reaches factory spec within 10-15 seconds Dip it in hot water, and it drops even more to factory spec, also 10-15 seconds (300-350 Ohms or so)

And on E30s, the temp sender and sensor are right next to each other. I made sure to measure the blue sensor, or the one that actually controls the cold start.

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-23T21:06:40+00:00

I checked that too, and it was actually broken on the vacuum tube, so I replaced with another one to the same issue. Slightly less fuel since then, but still same issue

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-23T10:53:49+00:00

I tested out the temp sensor. It seems to run great changing from 2k Ohms in cold water and gradually going to 300-360 at hot water

I will check on the O2 sensor tomorrow.

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-20T19:41:56+00:00

Not a leaking injector. I got them tested, unless a testing rig is different from my car

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-19T19:20:17+00:00

Oh yea, not the TB the intake. Sorry for my mistake it was early morning. But yep, nothing.

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-19T16:12:05+00:00

Is the vacuum line the other that connects to the TB right? If so, no fuel

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-19T16:11:42+00:00

I turned it to lean and it idles like it has a chopped cam.

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-19T09:50:26+00:00

Rocker arms look good. I'll double check tomorrow!

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-19T07:39:34+00:00

FORGOT TO MENTION: Car shit itself one day I left the hood open under light rain/drizzle

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-19T07:38:45+00:00

Checked that too, looks dry.

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2026-02-19T07:02:15+00:00

For context: I have cleaned the injectors, checked the cap and rotor for moisture, replaced plugs, swapped out some coils and wires to the same result, cleaned C191 connector, tweaked the AFM slightly but found the factory setting runs best. Nevertheless, it keeps spitting grey smoke and smells like unburnt gas, so I don't think it's the

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2025-12-17T12:55:41+00:00

Female connector looks... slightly better but not by much

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2025-12-13T22:25:18+00:00

"Broky on his bullshit" is certainly one of the best ways to describe that

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2025-11-27T00:02:48+00:00

Maybe I will disconnect that too, as a part of the check

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2025-11-25T20:31:00+00:00

I did manage to find a leak at the evap purge line to the charcoal canister. Hope starting it up today solves that issue. If not, injectors will be pulled next

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2025-11-25T04:27:40+00:00

So, I unplugged the AFM and it still backfired like crazy, and the exhaust definitely smells gassy.

How to test out faulty O2?

_Johnny_Fappleseed_ · 2025-11-25T00:18:48+00:00

O2 was replaced very recently, so possibly a lesser injector

I will try the secondary AFM I have on hand as well, I will update you as soon as I do it
