The BMW fault codes dont have just “misfire cyl 4” like P0304, they have “ignition coil 4” or “fuel injector 4.” Even if those things aren’t the problem, it tells you where to start your research. Luckily, it’s one of the most heavily documented DIY cars on the planet, so it wont be hard to figure out once you have the right information. > > The Peake tool they use in the Pelican article is worth it if you plan to keep the car for awhile and, well because the car is haunted. Otherwise, slip a Keeler tech $20 for the codes and get his thoughts while you’re there. > > Edit: While we’re on the subject of heavily documented DIY car, a happy Presidents Day gift for BMW owners: [http://spaghetticoder.org/bmw/](http://spaghetticoder.org/bmw/) Thanks again for you advice and the link! I’ll take it to get the codes read with the proper tool so I have the _right_ information! > [@Blockbuster Online problems](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/blockbuster-online-problems/39793/9): > > Love civics. Grab a paper clip and you’re good to go. Lol. Goodlick rando. Atleast it’ll be worth it in the spring. Thanks. I’ll need it with all the gremlins in this car. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/looking-for-someone-who-can-time-vanos/256888)._
