couplefew.
EFI cars seem to get confused if they stumble and don't start, so maybe that's the issue. I had the engine lose power and almost die once while I was leaving for work, but then it came back suddenly. I was thinking it was an icy fuel line (it was real cold...), but now I'm leaning towards fuel pump...? We shall see... At least I have a back-up vehicle for the time being.
Time being... Time.. being...

My e36 dislikes being started and run for a very short time, like less than a minute. The next startup after that is rough. Not sure what causes that but it's a fresh tight engine with less than 50k on it. Did you run yours a very short time the previous run cycle?

same thing for m60 e34s. they are known to flood if you run it for a short time (seconds) than shut it off because of the massive fuel dump on startup. ask me how i know.

On a cold start you will have the following fuel added on top of what is required to idle the engine:
Priming pulse
Cold start enrichment
After start enrichment
WOT during cranking will stop firing the injectors to allow a flooded engine to clear.
One set of injectors I had would leak to the point where I would get a bit of a hard-start after it sat overnight. It was a very slight and subtle leak but it was even more fuel added to the list above

I had an injector leak that caused the engine to "hydrolock". Pulled the spark plug, cranked it over for a split second, shot fuel across the garage. Fun stuff!

if the kids/adults who come to play games at your truck are anything like the ones playing COD and other online games on Playstation, your days should be fairly entertaining with lots of cuss matches, racism, and hacking accusations.

Dear Ireland Engineering: When I want to order a part from you but you don't respond to emails - I'll take my business elsewhere. KTHNKBYE.
I want to order front adjustable endlinks for mine from them. Good to know their customer service is legendary

At times folks have had better luck ordering IE parts though other vendors. Interesting business model.
As mentioned in other posts, Gutenparts, Blunttech and others have great service. Bimmerworld came through this week as well for me--order placed on Wednesday showed up this afternoon by regular UPS ground no less. Immediate answers to emails and phone questions. Too easy.
