I always figured if I had any free time I'd investigate this a bit further, more to satisfy my curiosity than anything else.

This sounds silly, but check the gas cap. More often then not, Large EVAP leaks are from the gas cap being loose. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

I don't have my code reader manual handy, but I thought there was. Jim

I reset the light this morning and it hasn't came back on after driving my car for a while. The engine feels strong and smooth. So I am crossing my finger. But I'll take the spark plug out on my Cyl #4 to make sure that it looks OK.

#7. [E36M3] Headliner Advice Sought - from RogRacer@aol.com
Top
Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 20:07:40 EDT From: RogRacer@aol.com Subject: [E36M3] Headliner Advice Sought My headliner is disintegrating. 8 years in the Florida heat and humidity has been too much. It appears that the insulation material, to which the headliner fabric is bonded, is falling apart. So I turn to this group for advice. What is the best option? A new BMW headliner? Salvage yard? Go to one of those "headliner and car interior" shops you see in the Yellow pages? I'm kinda at a loss here. Thanks for any help! Roger '95 M3
