Re: ECU upgrade including coil on plug conversion.

I’m running new modern 440cc/min injectors for future E85 use and a more modern injector has a better spray pattern. In addition Rama has installed a cam sensor and distributior blanking plate. The car will be running full sequential injection which will give drivability and fuel efficiency benefit...

Re: ECU upgrade including coil on plug conversion.

The loom now is finished and currently being installed in the car. Hopefully it will be running early this week and be ready for me to pick as early as late this week That looks great! I'm doing some similar work on my '88 M6 but I haven't been able to come across any of the grommets or injector ru...

Re: Name the orange devices

I've got the same looking situation on my '88 M6. I taped mine up with electrical tape since I haven't been able to find any replacements for it. Would be curious as to what some more experienced guys have done in this situation.

Re: '88 M6 Hot Start Issues

I finally had a chance to dig into the car a little bit more. Here is what I found. I tested the ignition switch by running a wire from the battery to the 15 terminal on the coil. Didn't help. I jumpered the 2 green wires on the OBC relay box to see if that was the issue. Still wouldn't start. I was...

Re: '88 M6 Hot Start Issues

Everything I can test on the coil points to it being good. When I test for spark on the wire from the coil to the distributer I get no spark which makes me think that it is the DME. Now, I have also tried to test if it is the DME getting too hot. I idled the car until it was hot and wouldn't start. ...

Hello everyone, I've been having issues with my 1988 M6 as of late and after a lot of searching on here and trying different tests I'm still stumped. Hopefully one of you guys can point me down the right direction from here. I'm having issues when trying to start the car after it is hot. It fires ri...

Re: Fuel level sending unit

Hey Everyone! I finally had a chance to install the unit and it appears to be working properly. I haven't gone through a whole tank yet to know if the low level is accurate but the 2 units looked to be the same length from the outside. The new unit came with an O-ring so no need to order a new one s...

Re: Fuel level sending unit

I received it but haven't installed it yet. Size wise it looks about right. Part number on the new part is correct too.

Re: Fuel level sending unit

Hey Gents. There seems to be a stash of these at eEuroParts right now. Ordered one yesterday and they already shipped. The website says they are part # 16121153050 so here is hoping. I'm supposed to get mine on Tuesday next week so I'll have a better idea after it arrives. https://eeuroparts.com/sho...

Re: Cruise Control Actuator Issue

Hey at this point any moral support is appreciated!

Is there a drawing somewhere showing how the pieces fit together and how many turns the spring needs for pre tension?

Thanks!

Cruise Control Actuator Issue

Hello Gents, I have an '88 M6 that I've been working on restoring for the last year. I'm in the middle of overhauling the brakes and while I have everything out I decided to change both throttle cables. When I took out the cruise control actuator I thought I had to open the cover to change the cable...

Diving into an '88 M6

Hi everyone! In a few days I'll be picking up my 1988 E24 M6. The car was originally bought by my wife's uncle in the early 90s. He's barely driven it and at this point it has 74k miles. On Thursday I'm flying out to Oklahoma to pick up the car and bring it back to North Carolina. For the last 7-8 y...
