Screwy Tack readings and mis-firing.



That's what I thought too, aparently it was a special edition, It has a
supplementary owner's manual. The car is identical to a 93 325i except it
has 2.0 litre displacement, E36 chassis, LSD, 24v DOHC I6 2.0l, ~150hp.

Smoothness of a 6cly, feul economy of a four... damn motor will probably
last forever, I'll never be able to swap in a 3.2l M3 in there... ;)  Ah
well it's a family car anyway....
