    E30s absolutely have a check engine light. Did you swap in the i cluster? The e cluster won't work

      No I have the e cluster but I just put in the 7000 rpm guage. Is there really a check engine light I've never seen it on my e30s but then again I've just had the early model e's where is it on the cluster I've always thought e30's just had the inspection lamps and the check panel check light that flashes. Back to the tps though, on pin 2 and 3 should I only be getting continuity at complete full throttle or should it start showing from 70% to wot?.

          Haha I have horable adhd I have trouble with explaining things in a text. Okay so, my engine has been shutting off when I let off the gas while driving, but when I am on the gas just driving normal the engine is running fine, but before all of this my idle would be okay until the engine warms up. Ill be driving, and I let off the gas then the idle drops to 500rpms then shoots back up to 1400rpms then back to about 1000 where my engine idles at. I have checked the tps, and its working properly. Ths icv I think is good it's turning on doi g it's thing. I think now it might be fuel related like someone said previously. I do know that both inner and outer pumps are new, and I only had to mess with a couple wires for both to turn on when I swapped the 88 m20b25 engine and engine harness in. I did find that the brake booster hose has a couple of cracks on the under side of the hose, so im going to see if that will help by replacing it along with my feed and return cuel lines, because they are also worn.

            Problem solved. After testing the tps, icv, and fuel pressure. I took my car to work, and did a smoke test, like how I should have done in the first place I found a vacuum leak at the throttle body gasket, and a tiny one on the brake booster hose. I fixed those, and still found that the idle was dropping down again, but not nearly as bad as before. The other problem was my throttle stop screw thing it wasn't adjusted to the tps properly, it was about 1 thousands of an inch away from touching. Thanks for your guy's help and input, and sorry for my horrible punctuation. I nevershowed up to those classes.
