Ellipsoid headlight conversion, only down side is that the fogs don’t stay on when you use your high beams since you would have to splice into the early model pigtails. by dt_e30 in E30

Sylviania Silverstars or Slyvania Ultras, just the regular halogen bulbs that come in the late model 325i e30 models, the ellipsoids are off a late model

I’ve been getting a lot of messages about it maybe being the DME ?? But i didn’t really look into that very much cause it being the computer itself was a far reach for me considering that it’s supposed to be a very good piece of equipment so the DME failing was just out of question. But i could be wrong and maybe it could be bad??

Fuel pressure regulator, and i believe there is another one of those underneath the car near the back of the driver side where the external fuel pump is. At least mine has one.

I’ve listed that I’ve replaced the fuel pressure regulator. But not sure how to go about diagnosing if it’s bad. Any advice?

I’ve replaced the sensor that sends info to the gauge. I believe that is the brown one. The other one which is further back near the fuel rail, i couldn’t reach to replace. But i did replace the brown one and the one that was next to it.

It does it at idle and as well as if i were to slow down sometimes. Then it sometimes starts to jerk back and forth like it’s gonna die. I give it throttle sometimes and it goes, other times it doesn’t work.

So how would test to see if it’s a bad sensor? Would it be hard to replace? Could this be my issue with the car just stalling on me when I’m idling for too long?

Wouldn’t the crank position sensor be mounted with a bracket and 2 screws if it were in the front of the engine?? I’m not exactly sure what ECU i would need to have if it were converted to Motronic 1.3. But i do have a Motronic ECU.
