Okay i have had man problems with this car and slowly but surely i have been changing everything. Now I'm at a new problem and i dont know where to go from here. Here is the problem: When the car is cold and i go to start it, it turns on then shuts off right away. Then i try it again but this time i pump the gas sometimes floaring it and it starts but i have to hold it at least at 2k rpms or it will die. While trying to idle, the engine sounds like a machine gun slowly trying to fire then after about 10 seconds of holding it, the engine idles fine and i can let it get warm by its self. Now a newer problem has come up, if the car isnt completely warm it will die or start to bog out as if its not getting fuel or theres no power. but once fully warmed up ITS FINE! Now here is what i have changed: NEW Coil Pack Battery Spark plus/wires Temperature Sensor with the white top Used Alternator Crank Position Sensor Fuel pump relay AMF Now im thinking its possible it could be the crank position sensor going bad considering it was used but that doesnt solve the getting warm problem or answer the question as to why it only happens when its cold or some what cold. I have no cracks or vacuum leaks and my amf is fine. PLEASE HELP!!!

have you checked your idle control valve?
when you say amf do you mean AFM ? -
Oh yeah i mean AFM sorry. Now whats the idle control valve. I could have checked it not knowing what it was.Having a fast honda is like coming out of the closet.....you suprise everyone at first, but in the end you're still gayComment

OH WAIT never mind yeah i checked it. You mean the throttle body? I took it off and cleaned the crap out of it. Now sometimes it gets a little stuck so i have to push the gas a little harder to loosen it up but yeah its cleanHaving a fast honda is like coming out of the closet.....you suprise everyone at first, but in the end you're still gayComment

A cold start problem sounds like an intake leak and/or bad DME engine temperature data.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

I forgot to add that. I got a new DME as well. and like i said im pretty sure i checked my intake correctly. theres no cracks or anything. What else or how do i properly check my intake for leaks?Having a fast honda is like coming out of the closet.....you suprise everyone at first, but in the end you're still gayComment

the ICV is a t-shaped object that branches off of your intake elbow, right in front of the throttle body. If that is faulty then it will cause idle problemsComment

Pull it off, see it it ahs crap in it, see if the valve will rotate freely, claen it out. If it's still acting up, try and see if a known working ICV fixes the problem.'89 325i track sloot
