Replaced the frequency valve relay and now the car runs great.
Relay tests bad. I just ordered a new one. Never a dull moment with old cars...(my XKE's fuel pump just died to add insult to injury)...
Found a writeup on how to test the Relay. The Search feature is your friend. Thanks
No buzz at all. Protection relay fuse is good. Connections look OK. How can I test the actual Protection Relay?
I did some additional tracing and it looks like a 3 wire O2 with the green wire connecting at a separate connector (you can see the green wire...
Can someone please identify this wire connection located behind the air box on my 1986 328? The one connector has 2 white wires. thanks [ATTACH]
Yes, stabilizer was used, however I discounted bad fuel as the cause in that after the plug change, the "bad" fuel was still present and should...
I have had this problem for several years now. After several months in storage, my 328 does not want to run on all cylinders. The first thing I...
I need to tap into the FC Brain Trust. I have the following issue: My ’86 USA 328 is stock with the exception it has no cats. There is a new OS...
Issues resolved. I've gone ahead and ordered all new vacuum hoses. A project I'll tackle in the future.
Thanks for all your replies. It turned out to be the vacuum supply for the air injection system. I was able to find the connecting hose hiding...
You are correct in that the WUR connects to the throttle body. That connection is "before" the butterfly (and I have that connection on my car)....
On my '86 328 throttle body there is a 1" long pipe extending downwards from the bottom of the body. What is its purpose? Is there supposed to...
Thanks Steve, you confirmed my suspicions. My 328 surges at idle when warm and set to 1K rpms. At 1200, it's fine. I think my next step is to...
I have a US 328 with a straight pipe replacing the catalytic converter. I have the O2 sensor mounted in the straight pipe, but the Thermocouple...
Steve, thank you. It would appear that whoever rebuilt the trans drove the bore tubes flush with the bottom of the trans case and consequently,...
I am helping a friend align the shifter on a newly rebuilt 308 GTSI transmission and have run into some major problems. The major issue is...
It seems the problem is in the WUR. I measured and then SIGHTLY tapped down the control rod a fraction of an inch (bronze "cap" located on the...
When I let the '86 USA 328 sit for a few weeks, the engine floods when starting. It will only run on a few cylinders. It is not cylinder bank...
Do you recall if there are any holes in the lid under the hinges to facilitate removing the rear spoiler?
