Hey rev got a strange problem on my hands my 1990 325i is having some weird idle issues,car idles fine for about 5 minute then the engine light goes off idle starts to bogging just a bit ilde sits around 650, in need of HELP asap!..
i Checked the idle control valve,intake boot ,vaccum line that connects to the valve cover but never double checked the tps but I replaced that not to long ago.
My first suspicions would be intake leaks and an aged O2 sensor (service life is 100k). A smoke test is the only way of checking all possible leak locations.
The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
