well i may have gotten lucky but im not sure. I really checked my car out today after it developed what to me seemed like a bad cat but i checked it a little more today after not driving it and found that its a 5cylinder now. It leaned out and im not sure how bad yet. Im going to replace the plugs, fuel pump, fuel filter and drain the tank and run fresh gas through it. I run 94 only so i think the gas is clean unless i got a bad patch. Lately the gas station i use has been sketchy.
If replacing those parts doesnt work then i may have to chase more injectors and if thats not bad then the AFM or the Chip may have gone whack, i dont know. All i know is that im pretty sure no internal damage was done. I think my valves and all are ok but only time will tell. Im going to bore scope it and see if we can determine anything from that most likely not but its worth the try. depending on how the BMW gods feel like treating me the blue machine is going in for its annual winter break down... Just i pulled the plugs Dry as a bone and whiter than them too.
