Hoping sifu's here can intervene and help diagnose The issue: About two months ago every time i start the engine, until the engine completely warms up everytime i accelerate it is reluctant to move i.e 'tekan kosong'. This is something that had happened before sometime ago and I assumed it was just a sticky afm. Sent the afm for servicing at Optimum, but the problem still persisted. Then the mechanic said it may be something to do with the idling valve. So that was serviced (two weeks ago). Since then, the cold start problem has gone away, but now at low rpms (generally below 2000rpm) the car is very jerky and sometimes reluctant to move , 'tekan kosong'. But as soon as the speed picks up, the car is perfectly fine!. I realised this just a few days ago when I was stuck in bad traffic somewhere in KL. I am still suspicious that this is related to the AFM. But my mechanic does not seem to think so. Anyone experienced this before or have any ideas? By the way mine is a e30 m42 ....cheers guys.</p></blockquote><p></p>
