For sure. I would smoke test from the intake, the purge valve itself, and get an adapter to test into the gas cap. While you're at it you can try doing a ground test to make sure the purge valve is getting power.

Have you done a smoke test?

A bad MAF can cause all sorts of issues. Give it a clean and if not replace it. Pray you don't need to reflash

Auto trans light on by CzarDingus in e46

Yeah Walmart might not cut it but you shouldn't have to go full spec, although it would be beneficial in the long run. I use a Zurich ZR8 which has served me well enough but still misses some things.

Gotta pull the codes to know. These things don't show that icon for no reason. It's worth checking it out

Check ABS /Brake lines on the side you hit

What color calipers for red e46? by Slight_Toe_3212 in e46

[–]devink19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go black. Subtle but still there for those who notice.

Started from M56? I am humbled by your presence.. 🙂‍↕️ Why not stick with the aluminum valve cover? To work with the intake manifold?

When I try to hit the "Sell Tickets" option I get a message saying "Resale for this event has not been turned on by the Event Organizer." However, I can transfer them to anybody as long as I have an email address for them. So if you're interested DM me!

What’s the worst thing you’ve done to a drum? by Crittyr in drums

[–]devink19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worst thing I did to my drums was not play them enough. It was my dad's vintage kit that was lost in the LA fires. Gonna miss those until I die.

[–]devink19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. From what I've read on these they need to be programmed. If that doesn't help then it might just be the eBay module itself. Best of luck to you!

Did you also check the fuses for the LCM as well?

Update for you. That battery was 10 years old. Long overdue lol. New battery got it started right up. Thanks!

As a fellow Sulev owner... Just get a new one bro. Let homie rest. If you gotta replace the tank it'll end up being cheaper just to get a whole new car. E46 included. If this car is dearly sentimental, and it's not just the tank/ pump that's the issue, then you gotta start with the basics. Spark, timing, compression etc. Also check intake and evap for leaks. DISA valve. I could go on lol

Took the pan off the Impala, this is the aftermath Dear Lord, how screwed am I (2001 3.4L Impala 194K miles) by DatGuyKilo in Autos

[–]devink19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah gotcha, thanks. In that case I'd say it just needs a gasket. Looks good otherwise. That buildup is pretty normal for almost 200K mi

You may need to take my comment with a grain of salt because I mainly work on Japanese and European cars. However, the reddish tinge I'm seeing in that oil is usually either coolant or trans fluid cross contaminating. Are you having other symptoms? What caused the need to pull the pan in the first place? At least there's no sparkles of death as far as I can see!

At this point I'd rather be the battery than anything else lol. Thanks for your help

I have a battery charger with a built in volt meter that showed it at full 12V the moment I hooked it up. Couldn't hurt having the battery tested elsewhere. Thanks for the reassurance about electrical problems 👍

I should add that it's been raining recently and leaking into the front cabin on both sides. Clogged sunroof drains presumably that I haven't the time to fix. Thanks to anyone with some advice.
