The M20 car consistently takes ~5 seconds to start up. The starter motor runs strong. Once it does start, it wants to stall for the first couple of seconds but idles fine after that. A warm start happens with ease if the car has been been shut off for less than 30 minutes.
I've added in a check valve like in this picture: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/dark...2copy.jpg.html The idle control valve has been cleaned and the resistance of its connectors are okay. The fuel pressure regulator is good. The spark plugs are new and not fowled. It has new spark plug wires. It's a 91 but its engine is from 89.
I'm under the impression that the idle control valve should be making noise when the car is turned on to accessory mode, but I'm not hearing any noise. The car also idles the same way whether the idle control valve is attached or detached, so I'm thinking the idle control valve is not getting power.
Did 325is have idle control modules or did only 325es? Are there any fuses relating to the idle control valve as to why it wouldn't be getting power?
Thanks a lot!
