This was awesome!

Mine was not a hot start issue. My car would nearly die out after starting it and trying to just take off without letting the car idle for a couple of minutes.

Ugh, I have all of the problems found in this thread, except my wire is unplugged. The engine only runs badly when it's warm-ish (the needle on the temp gauge is just past the blue mark). When it's cold from sitting all night, or once it's nice and warmed up, it runs just fine. What could this be? It's driving me insane!

I have a tiny bit of tach needle-wandering and a very, very mild stutter when I first start mine up. I'm def. going to check this plug out once I get the intake back on and such from cleaning up the acid trip cooling/vac/hc hoses from under there.

Systema - ICV perhaps? Ever changed or checked your plugs/wires? Any other symptoms you can narrow down?

New plugs, not sure about the wires but they look pretty new. The old plugs were pretty carbon-y, and I know the car's running kinda rich. I can't tell for sure, but it smells like there's gas in the oil. That's probably a bad sign, huh?

I'm wondering if our E36s have something similar, but it's integrated into one of those multi-wire plugs. Kinda like how we have to do some funky splicing to install a COP kit. I can't find anything like this in the wiring diagrams, though.

I've been fighting this bump and sputter problem forever. If this wire thing fixes this very frustrating problem I'll be one happy camper.

By the way I'm new on the block. I have two BMW's, a 87 325 and a 91 318, both rag tops.  I love um.

It's great knowing that this site is out there. Thanks

Great thread

Just wanted to add that this fixed my problem as well.  Connected the wires after I accessed the blower fan and forgot what I did once I noticed the problem.  Car would sputter/stall after a start when warm unless I either let it idle for a couple minutes or stomp on the gas for a few seconds until power returned.

Read this thread last night and disconnected it. Been running smooth since.

Where should I search for the cable in 93' E36 M42 Coupe? Does it have it? I read the thread from BMW club Malaysia  and  I've tryed with the Fuel regulator from my old engine and there is no difference with it.
The problem is that when I turn off the car for example for 5 to 8 minutes. When I start it ,she runs like she's out off fuel and  if I let go the gas pedal and she turns off.Then 1 minute she is trying to start  with no sign of life  and then it starts and working the same(like no fuel) way 2-3 minute.After that the engine runs perfect with perfect idle.
I've tryed with other: TPS ,air flow meter, temperature senzor(water-it was broken)Idle speed sensor and other things.
The engine is not the original one on the car. This engine is from a 92 IS coupe . Are they any differences between  92 and 93 ECU ?
Becouse i run the car with the ECU from the original engine?
edit: Sorry about my english..!
