....cleaning my airmeter...
Yep, didn't think it would make any difference, but I tried it and it
is a lot livelier...
All I did was take my airmeter out of my 100 000 mile E46 330ci, spray
car cleaner (lots of it) trough the plastic grid at the hot wire, put
it back together and took it for a test drive...
The carb cleaner was bought off EBay for a few UKP.
Worth doing! >> Stay informed about: I got a more responsive engine by..... |
