okay anyone know of a cheap ingnition system i.e. magasquirt ,msd ,or ect that i can use instead of the computer inside the car ( l-jectronic system ) all my friends and brothers say its proably that and i want to make a custom ITB system and use a MAF system this is proably the best way i dont realy care about hp that much i just want about 190-220hp a little high reving  4 cylinder is what i want any one that can help that be great and if you could give me a system you are useing with wire diagram and price would be awsome im looking to spend 100-700 dollers depends on how well and how reliable system set-up is

Engine + Driveline / Yet another funky idle issue

maybe your running alittle lean and need to adjust the throttle  to be open slightly to alow air to flow when the throttle is closed

maybe the wires ... but i changed all the wire cracks by crimping them together with new wires .. checked voltage. .. didnt work ( with engine on idleing at 2,700rpm )  then i put it back together then by hand pulled the throttle wire to full-open throttle ... stop'ed at 4,800rpm thought maybe the TPS was dead got new one from local bmw store replaced and did same thing .. 4,800rpm is there anything of the ECU dieing with no fuse's blowing ?
