If at the switch you might be able to substitute another switch from the opposite seat or find a way to get 12volts and ground to the motor leads. If it's the motor, you may have to try to take the seat apart in place. -Kevin ---------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail communication is confidential and is intended only for the individual(s) or entity named above and others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.

I worked the seat off with 2 star bolts and a nut in back on each side, then took the gear assemblies apart. I then whacked the top rail with a BFH until it moved far enough forward to get a socket down onto the bolt in back. I guess BMW doesn't feel that the seat motors will ever fail or the rails will ever sieze?!? Anyway, thanks again for your input. Now on to the rest of the interior with wild abandon!! :-) Gotta love strippin' a race car!

Purchased for $1k: 1991 D-Schwarz E30 318is, 99k "bought it from a friend/abused home.. just had to restore it" excuse. Actually it's a really cool car and the only e30 variant I had yet to own. The boss said OK because I convinced her I could flip it for a couple of K...and besides, it was so cute with the short bumpers and all...and oh yeah...what great gas mileage! Well, I'm still married. Happily, methinks. Finally got all the suspension/driveline bits up to snuff, and replaced all the usual under-hood and maint. items to include: Hoses, Vacuum and coolant (intake boot looked good, but it will be new soon as well...key thought) Belts Filters, air, oil & fuel, all OEM Bosch F7LDCR Plugs (pre-gapped) Magnecor 8mm wire set Power steering hose (reservoir side) Exhaust manifold gaskets (see driveline maint...had to take the manifold off to remove the exhaust...oh drat!) Front Control Arms and Powerflex Bushes 4 shocks/stuts...BTW how did I forget how bad Tokico Shocks/struts are? Esp. in this set-up...dumb dumb dumb Front/Rear shock/strut tower bushes (the 'old' ones from e30M3 re-build were 10x better than what was there) Driveshaft center bearing (turned to dust...shaft was really wobbling) Guibo Oil all driveline fluids (synthetics of course, cause it's in my garage) 'Prolly more stuff, but I forget as it's been so long... Car runs/idles great, no misses or hesitation, no smoke..so happy that I went and bought a D'Sylva e30-M42 93 Octane chip to install after passing emissions...AND put the 15x7 BBS Basketweaves on! Finally got it into Northern Virginia inspection, safety insp was obviously no problem. Emissions fail, both 15mph and 25mph dyno runs (I should have made a copy of the 1st report...they took it upon my return...more on that later). So, I'm WELL into this by now and the numbers were not even close (no Italian tune ups), specifically in the 25mph test...so....new DEC Cat and O2 sensor and happy day, right? $400 and one month later (I'll spare the gory details about the $17x2 bolts from the Stealer for the Center Resonator to Cat connection...) Here's the result of test #2, passed (barely), all dynamic measurements, new cat/O2 sensor plus all the above. I ran-in the Cat couple days prior with 1+ hrs of spirited Hwy and city driving. Car was hot when dropped off...but I suspect it sat for at least 30mins...the tech said he would warm it up before the test...I'm guessing he let it idle for a minute, saw the H20 temp at normal, and did the test, so Cat was hardly 'glowing' 15 MPH, 1858 RPM (1st gear) (Limit/Reading) HC ppm (153/84) CO% (0.61/0.08) NO ppm (2000/147) Looks great, right? 25 MPH, 2010 RPM (2nd gear...who drives at 2k rpm in 2nd gear in this car? No-one in their right mind right?) (Limit/Reading) HC ppm (167/158) CO% (0.89/0.50) NO ppm (1944/1921) Looks not-so-great, right? No hint of any mis-fires so why high HC? High NO = Lean? Intake leaks? Sticky injectors? Nothing obvious, unless the intake manifold gaskets are a hidden source like the S14? Vision inspection of the intake boot looked OK. Valve adjustment? Haven't done this yet, but it's time I'm thinkin Plug re-gap? Nah, that would effect lower speed test the same, right? Not enough time on new Cat burn-in? ditto as above. Engine is lugging like a choked pig at 2k RPM in 2nd gear and well off the torque curve? Some other strange electrical gremlin in the ignition I have yet to discover? Can't be, it runs great! If you've stayed with me this long, I commend you! Cheers John Grills NCC-BMWCCA 98 M3/4 (OBD-II is scarin me...and the car has been rock solid for 1.5 yrs now, well, there's that ABS repair that is overdue...) 91 318is (see above) 88 M3 (passes emissions with JC chip in place!) 87 iC (Boss's car...yes it's a 5spd!) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 16:30:08 -0400 From: "Gary Derian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "john grills" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[email protected]> Subject: Re: E30 M42 Emissions Saga Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm going to say misfire is feeding oxygen and fuel to the cat.
