1995 E36 318is Idle Issue
« on: March 30, 2024, 09:56:59 PM »
Hello everybody i recently just got back into fixing my e36 as it has just been sitting in the garage for about 9 months yikes. The main issue that i am experiencing is the idle. Whenever I start the car it'll idle very rough and die within 10 seconds but on the 3rd or 4th start it will idle basically perfect at around 900-1000 RPM. This will happen on cold and warm starts. When the idle does run smooth i'll rev it up to about 3k Rpms and it'll drop back down to about 1100. Although sometimes it does go back to orignal 900-1000 Rpms. I really don't know what the issue could be because when the car does idle fine it sounds great. Any help would be great and if my explanation isn't the best i am sorry It's Very hard to explain over text.
