    M20 Rough Idle/Misfire.

    My dad just refreshed an M20 as the same time as he did a 5 speed conversion on a 89 325i.

    By refreshed I mean:

    Rebuilt 885 head and bottom end from a reputable machine shop.

    Problem:

    Car has a misfire/hesitation at idle. The sound is almost a "puh-puh" and sometimes shakes the interior a bit. When you are driving it, it has plenty of power and seems to smooth out. We checked the valves, they are adjusted to spec.


    We have tried known good:
    Swapping AFM
    Injectors and rail
    cap/rotor
    spark plugs(They were slightly wet with gasoline)
    multiple ICVs
    FPR
    o2 sensor

    We are at a loss of ideas, and frustrated.

    If you have any ideas, please let us know!


    Thanks R3v.

    Check for vacuum leaks and injector seals. Are you using 19# injectors?
