[QUOTE="zairiniz, post: 241333, member: 4948"] e36 idling problem I had a similar problem with my ride for 5 months. For your information, I drive an E36/325i. I had to live with the erratic idling and cold starting problem everyday. Things which I had done and worthless were : a) Spark Plugs b) ECU Inspection c) Increased timing d) Fuel Pump e) Fuel Filter f) Injector Cleaning I almost gave up with my car until I went to this BMW workshop in Glenmarie, Shah Alam which pinpointed the problem directly to my ICV, Diaphragm and Vacuum Hose. Within 1.5 hrs, my problem was all gone. The car finally idles like a new BMW and the performance has also improved. My advice, don't ever use the so-called "high-flow" air filters. Stick to the standard paper filter. The life span of your ride will be extended. FYI, the workshop only charged me under RM 500!!!! [/QUOTE]
