Hi BB,
I read a post in the 700faqs that mentioned heat sink compound behind the ignition amplifier next to the aircleaner. Is this necessary, or just a good idea?
Today I cleaned the front of the engine compartment in my 7. Cleaned all grounds, cleaned all connections. Wife went to store, car has SERIOUS problem accelerating. Researched 700faqs, thought about it, check ignition amplifier beside airbox. I was able to move it, I must have cleaned out the dirt that was securing it. Removed it, cleaned the area, replaced it. Car is now a like a 6 cylinder wannabe.
It doesn't look like there was a heat transfer compound on it originally, it is just the original painted surface.
