For a VERY long time, I've had my "service engine soon" light on in my car. I thought it was just because of my stupid BMW computer system trying to tell me it was time for my inspection. I was wrong. Since I didn't drive my car every day, I didn't worry about it. Now I do drive it every day though. Well, I finally took my car to a friend who manages a Firestone, and they plugged it into the computer to find out that my "camshaft sensor" was bad. "What the heck is a camshaft sensor?" I asked. The camshaft rotates, the lifters move up and down, which opens the valves, which lets the fuel and oxygen into the piston chamber. Intake, Compression, Power, Exhaust. :Confused: To shorten my story, I got them fixed today, and HOLY CRAP! :eek: My car has HORSEPOWER AGAIN! :D My friend told me it should affect my engine performance, so when I jumped on the interstate I punched it. It threw my head back into the seat and I could feel the front end come up, and the back end dig in. Wow! I forgot that my car could do that!
So then I drove around for a while today for no reason.
Who cares how much gas costs, right? I gotta find some curvy country roads around here!
