    surging idle

    OK my car has done this three times now and its bugging me.. when my cars cold i get a surging idle and throws a code. if I turn it off and restart it everythings fine. The car runs fine other wise. Ive cleaned the icv. Could it be a a bad temp sensor ? The motor is a non vanos 92 out of an e36. Ive searched also but my issue seems a lill different

    mine does that sometimes, actuallly a lot. i have a leaky injector tho. i can smell fuel for days. already ordered some new/used ones. check the connections on yours or possibly a fuel system cleaning

            nonvanos m50 motors are obd1, they dont store codes like obd2 does. while the light is on, the code is stored, other than that it disappears
