[QUOTE="Bmmad318i, post: 178205, member: 61"] Mouse, Did you try cleaning the throttle valve also(lots of oil deposited around the valve)....happened to me on my E30 with M40 engine(I'm assuming that yours is an M40) had to adjust the idle higher just to prevent engine from dieing off on me when at the red light . Frequency of cleaning shound not be that frequent ..... once a month is abit too frequent, I feel. IMHO, you're driving the car you may not feel like driving a UDM already ......becoz its not functioning as it should be....... just to save a few $$$ eg. stepping on the gas pedal before starting, etc. [/QUOTE]
