I think I'll need a new ICV and TPS soon. The half shafts are feeling a little sloppy too. And for the first time I may take it to a local renowned BMW specialist Bill Arnoldve him sync the throttle-bodies. Up until that point I will have been the sole mechanic on this project... I mean car. It's been a fun and rewarding process and I have been fortunate to meet some good people along the way. |
