I looked at my spark plugs, they were all 4 black.

So I replaced them, absolutely no change...

Engine + Driveline / Re: Idle problem, Need help to solve

I didn't do any stomp test because I don't have any reader... :/
And yesterday I did the test for more vacuum leaks with the brake cleaner and I didn't find any

To help you, I have two videos. One before replacing the hoses, so when the problem came on, and the other is after
I replaced the two hoses, which is how it runs right now.

Thanks again guys !

Well I though there was knocksensors because people on other forums had checkengine codes for the #1 or #2 knocksensor.

My car is an e36 318is 1994, from the USA

Engine + Driveline / Idle problem, Need help to solve

« on: June 05, 2014, 02:30:54 PM »

 Hi guys, hope someone can help me here,

The car is my track project, it was running great since I bought it.
I didn't use for 1 week or maybe 2. I started it and the idle was really bad!

The idle was so bad, the engine was stalling by itself when we don't give it gas. So I cleaned the ICV and changed the two vacuum hoses connected to it because there was leaks.

Now the idle is kinda stable, but the engine still doesn't run great. It seems to run rich because the smoke is a bit dark.
I have NO checkengine light on.

I have 3 hypothesis :
1)Injectors
2)Knock sensors
3)Throttle Position Switch

What do you think guys?

Thanks for the help !
