I didn't know whether to put this in this category or the Tech category feel free to move this thread if it is the wrong place lol.
I have a 1989 BMW 325i Vert that has been plagued with wanting to stall on start up. The idle also surges from about 500 rpm to 1200 rpm. Sometimes mostly once I have been driving the car, when I come to a complete stop like a red light it will dip down to about 500 rpms and feels weak like its bearly keeping that. But once i start driving again i notice nothing wrong at all.
I got a radio installed a couple days ago which coupled with a almost dead battery and weak alternator killed the car. Now ever since then I am having this problem :/
I've seen many threads about this and have read through most of all of them it seems like and I keep coming up with dead ends
I have replaced as of now,
-New Battery
-Alternator
-Spark Plugs
-Fuel Filter
I have cleaned my ICV and checked to make sure it still hums/vibrates and it still does.
I also cleaned my Throttle body in this process.
I have checked most visible vacuum lines. I checked with soapy water and the Carb Cleaner test and no luck with anything. There is a small crack but no all the way through on my ICV rubber elbow boot, I don't believe this is what is causing this but I have ordered a new one to replace it anyways.
At this point I am a bit lost on what there is really left to do about this. Any help would be really appreciated lol.
