A wiring harness was touching the inside left cylinder ar the rear corner, just below the two throttle cables. Blue wire with pink trace insulation mekted and clearly arcing onto the cylinder head. This fat (maybe 10- 15 wires all cnvered with a black shesth) wire bundle should have been tied down better. if it happened to my B11, you could b next.
Symptoms were intermittent rough running, fouled plugs, hard starting, service light on, poor gas milage. The problem progressed from an occasional annoyance to a near constnt issue, obviously as the wire melted. ECU code read 31 but I never was ble to translate that one.
