My Car Died Again
 
I have horrible luck with cars, heh.

It's throwing a CEL 1224.... a bad air intake sensor in the intake manifold. Every time I turn on the car, the rev's drop to zero and it stalls.

Good news is it can be reached fairly easily, and the part is only $60'ish.

Still though, until I get back to Athens later this weekend, my car is sitting dead in a church parking lot (the first place where I could pul over when it started acting up). :(

Sucks man :( but at least its a cheap fix and the ///M will be back on the road soon. May i suggest seafoaming it since you will be in the manifold anyway? its a real easy 10 min job through the brake booster line. May as well do it if you are going to be in there

Geeze Harry! :doh

You and your cars are something else. :rolleyes

Good thing it's in a church parking lot. Maybe some prayers for that car while it's there, and good thing too, becuase God is watching over your M3 while it's there. :)

Harry were you at Crystals again?

EcianIce 01-04-2007 07:30 AM

ive told him again and again

get a car with a warranty

or buy a honda (they never break

drz 01-04-2007 12:43 PM

^^ Or maybe fix all the wear and tear items before they break on you in the middle of the road. Its not like you don\'t have the cash available.

nick_318is 01-04-2007 12:52 PM

I got an idea, get an e30 :redspotda

But I do all the preventive maintenance. I even change my oil about every 1,000 miles.

However things like sensors going bad isn\'t really anything I can help. :(

nick_318is 01-04-2007 01:09 PM

Harry, will you marry me and then divorce me so I can get your M3 and half your money in the settlement and take proper care of it.

I Kid I Kid. :stick
