I use to, now I am at sonnen in san rafael.

 

can u get me a job at bmw? lol

I feel im qualified for a job there lol...ive torn thru a lot of bimmers, went to uti, torn mostly thru my mini...but I just dont have the stuff to diagnos my current problems!!!

 

That may be possible, but right now it is really slow and there are a lot of changes being made. You never know though, I wouldn't have guessed I'd being doing this a year ago.

Heck, I'm ready to find a mini dealership. For the most part they don't/can't get this far into the car anyway. I'd feel like a master at mini.

Infact, my third car garage is about to become my mini MINI sevice station.

 

mk, so I swapped the sensor and the code went away! yippe...but it threw me some other codes...

P0271 - Fuel Injector, Cyl 4 - Input High
P0234 - Charge-air pressure, Compressor
P0203 - Fuel Injector, Cyl 3 - Malfunction

I think, haven't looked yet cuz its like 5 million degrees under my hood, but think it could just be a bad connection to the injectors...just like needs to be pushed back on...u kno.

and the P0234? over boost at idle or something? where does that get picked up from? t-map?

Let me know what you think..

oh and dave says hey jermey

 

Ok, so maybe there was something to the map sensor thing. I would check those injector connections, clear the codes and see what happens.

 

I have a major vacuum leak now...but cant place where it is coming from...

its like under/around the intercooler...and once the car goes into boost it goes away...

what are you up to this weekend? want to try to figure out this problem?

 

I can help sunday.

 

meet up at jasons on sunday?

ill give him a call tomorrow to see if he is doing anything that day.

or your place? I have like one craftsmen box with like a basic set of like 200 pieces or somethin, and no scanner. I'm too cheap for tools right now, and living with my parents doesn't help (mom hates me doing anything with my car in 'her' garage)

 

I can lend you the scanner, and I have a spare BPV if you want to screw around. I also have a couple of IC boots....

Man, you've got all the luck!

Matt

 

Jason's will be ok with me. I can bring my scanner, but most off my tools are at the shop. Let me know what the plan is and I'll be there.

 

what time can u be there? jason says if we can make it early its cool but he is going to see a movie tomorrow...so he said we can have like 9-11...if you can you could just come down to my house in santa cruz. I picked up bimcom from dr o this morning...its down to just a misfire right now, the map sensor thing is fixed, a misfire and a bad bad vacuum leak that i can't pinpoint.

 

Just decide when and where and I will make it happen.

 

Jason's tomorrow morning it is, I will try to be there around 9.

 

8:30

 

OK

 

what did you guys find out?

Matt

 

I found out I sold my car =P he is picking it up on thursday, put down a deposit and everything...anyway..

It was the lower o-ring on my 3 cyl injector that was messed up...the new(correct) map sensor took care of the problems at the beginning of this thread. And a new o-ring took care of the injector. And a guy who bought my car took care of all my problems lol...I will bring that stuff back to you sometime this weekend matt.

 

That you fixed it, sad that you're moving on, but the next car sounds like fun too!

Matt

 

The t-map took care of jason's codes as well, so far .

 

Now now Jeremy...

 

Car is sold now!

It's true. Now I have a tall glass of refreshing lemonade. I've been repsectfull with my comments, tread lightly. Besides, How did msfit, jcampos and I get our cars sorted out in the end.
