The car having issues is a 1988 325is stroked to 2.7. Has 885 head and 274 cam.
So for a few weeks now my car has been having a rough time in the morning. It starts up fine and idles at around 900 but if you drive out of the garage (~10ft) it'll get lumpy and drop to about 500-600 and then maybe bump back up. When you start driving it feels like it bogs/surges almost like a spark plug is misfiring, but once the car is at temp then everything is normal. It will idle at about 750-800 and drives smooth.
I have checked all over:
Sprayed carb cleaner for known vacuum leaks. I will be taking it in for a smoke test this weekend to double check and verify there is no pinhole leak I may have missed.
Intake boot shows no signs of cracks.
When warm, idle drops as expected when pulling the dipstick or oil cap.
Replaced the Cold Temp Sensor (blue)
Replaced Spark Plugs
Replaced O2 sensor
AFM is clean and was refurb'd by Bav Resto
TPS shows continuity for idle
ICV is clean and has been doubly verified with 2 different ICV's
FPR is replaced
Anyone else suffer through this similar problem? If I can't get it then it'll end up in a shop shortly since my other e30 is also down and I am without transportation.
Thanks
