Re: Pulling Rear Parcel Shelf '87 CSI, Pod Paint, etc
No you won't be able to remove the entire assembly with those 4 nuts. That is where you start the process though. Those are simply for holding down the forward section of the pods. The rear section are on hinges secured with small screws. Rear sections of Early pods are held down to the front with m...

Re: Differential questions
All correct information you have so far. Gear ratio information is correct and given the 3 speed auto a 3.46 would probably be near the extreme end for highway driving. My e34 5 speed is running 3.46 and 80 mph rpm is about 3k. That's higher than I prefer Your goal is critical to determine if you wa...

Re: Mysterious bulb
First add a good solid ground to the gauge cluster. Grounding is a typical issue with gauges and could be the reason for your dim light

Re: No Power, Running Super Rich
You should verify that the ecu is proper for running without O2 sensor. I know a lot of euro motors ran well without an O2 sensor but their ecu was designed for it. I'm under the impression that US cars ran with O2 sensors and the corresponding ecu required O2 sensor input to run properly

Re: Heater wiring gen 1

Re: No Power, Running Super Rich
Have you looked at the O2 sensor? That will cause rich condition on failure. Readings should be +1V to -1V and fluctuate between the two
Basically any failed engine tune sensor defaults the ecu to rich condition to protect the engine.

Re: No Power, Running Super Rich
I did a web search on that 0887 part number and it comes back as the 008 control unit. Sorry I do not have any 8 connector controllers.
I can't give advice on your attempts to make the 025 work. My electronics is not up to your level of knowledge. Good luck

I saw that the 008 control unit has several applications. Please enter your vin into realoem and research the proper control unit for your car. Just to verify what should be in place.

83 may have the fuel system additional relay. It's silver and shaped differently from the typical square box. Rectangular and flat solid state. Best wait for someone here with that specific system so they can guide you better

Re: Instructions for disabling onboard security 1987 635csi
Your ignition switch may be failing. Contacts slowly burn away until it doesn't make contact anymore. Check for +12V at that black/yellow wire when the key is turned to start position. Or the starter just needed to get bumped with good voltage before it woke up
Nice work

Re: Instructions for disabling onboard security 1987 635csi
Try to hot wire it by connecting +12V to the starter trigger contact. It will have a black with yellow stripe wire on it. Under the intake manifold towards the firewall
There is a way to hotwire at the diagnostic port but memory is failing. I'll have to search for it and report back

Re: Swivel joint removal
Visibility is your issue Rainer. The black piece has a tab that locks it into place. Rotate the heater valve until you get to a slot in the green section where the tab is more exposed and will allow for you to push the tab in and release it. Good luck

Not sure which one that is with a red cap. There are 3 sensors I'm familar with- thermotime sensor/switch, Coolant Temp x2 as described before. Thermotime has a 7 second ON status if the engine is cold and that triggers the cold start valve. Unplug the cold start injector valve (csv) to see if the T...
