tach stays reading correctly. It does not drop to zero when the engine cuts. No instruments change/stop working. The stereo stays on, heater fan ect all are unaffected.

Wouldn't it do its thing all the time, morning, afternoon or night? Especially over rough roads? This is only doing it in the morning, on smooth roads. I checked all the pins when I had the DME out last... -
Still can't get to the bottom of this. I've replaced the flywheel sensors, the relays, plugs, wires, and coil, the fuel pumps and filter, bypassed the fusible link, and put a different battery in the...Leave a comment:

I'll try and make it out there for that. Sears Point is a fun track, I run a 2:00:XX lap with my '69 Datsun 2000. I'm guessing you will be in the FIA group? If so I'd be racing against you with the Datsun...Leave a comment:

I have one of their alternators and it ate the voltage regulator in less than a year. One of the brushes was almost gone, and the other had about twice as much (odd since its a flat surface that they...Leave a comment:

Ah, ok, I guess I should go find a 50 amp fuse to replace it with since there is no way I'll be able to order the real part, and get it installed before I need to leave on a trip in a week.

The fusible link appears to be fine. I did not cut the heat shrink around it off, but it was protected by the plastic piece, as well as the large main wire. There appears to be no heat damage to it. I... -
There are no loose or dirty grounds on the car. None. It doesn't happen when I hit a bump, it only rears its head randomly when its below 60 degrees F. The coil is a new coil, the wires are new. Yes I...Leave a comment:

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm up in Napa, not at all close to SB. It would be nice to try and run another ECU before I send mine out to be fixed (assuming that is the issue.)

Yes. It seems to be working. There is fuel flowing out of it. That still also wouldn't explain why I only have issues when the ambient temp is below 60 degrees.

Over the weekend I had time to replace both pulse generators for the flywheel, the fuel pump and the fuel filter in an effort to eliminate the car cutting out and/or totally dying. I also looked the DME...Leave a comment:

It didn't fix the issue I'm having however. Air temp was 55 degrees this morning when I left for work and sure enough, the car cut 4 times, once while making a left turn at a busy intersection... It didn't...Leave a comment:

The car still isn't as bright feeling as it has been in the past. It might need an italian tune up for that however. I'm planning on putting 400+ miles on it next week. I went with the 044 simply because...Leave a comment:

I got my 044 installed yesterday. A bit of a tight fit. It also sounds a bit noisy, but I have a feeling they are louder than the stock ones by nature. Drove the car to work this morning and had no issues...Leave a comment:

What size fittings do I need to make a 044 work with the stock hoses? I know the large end is a M18 1.50 thread, but what size barb should that be (12mm/ 1/2 inch?) On the other side, its a M12 1.5 but...Leave a comment:

I think yours is either a collapsing hose from the AFM to the plenum, or not enough fuel.
Mine started as a random misfire that has become a full engine cut that doesn't want to refire willingly,... -
I opened the cover of the DME last night. Didn't smell anything burt, and didn't see any burnt traces on the board. I looked at all the solder joints on the back side of the board and they all look good....Leave a comment:

Hahaha, awesome! Seriously though, if BMW can design an aerodynamic brick in the mid 80s, why the hell can't designers now design a car that actually looks good, with similar drag? Cars currently on the...Leave a comment:

Thanks. I was one number off, I needed the XXX18 rather than the XXX19 (The 19 is the short one that goes to the top of the bell housing and only transmits to the service plug. They did have the XXX18,... -
So I have checked all the grounds and all are in good shape, tight and clean. I fixed the temp sensor by putting the old one back in. Haven't had an issue from there. The new issue is that after pulling...Leave a comment:
