car trouble
Alright well what do you know, another problem with my e30. So everything was fine and dandy but when I came to a stop light and put it in neutral I watched my revs fall down reallly low (300 or so) so I gave my gas a little tap to see if it would bring it back up, instead this time it fell too low and my car stalled out. Had to drive home gassing it the whole time so the car wouldn't die. Anybody have an idea what this could be? fuel pump? regulator? injectors? Not really sure, input would be nice. Thanks.

If the engine runs when you keep it well above idle, but wants to die if you allow it to idle, an intake leak would be high on the list of suspects. A smoke test of the intake would be the first diagnostic to be done.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Idle control valve bad or throttle switch out of adjustment?sigpicComment

first try the smoke test (you can also do it with carb cleaner), then take a look at your crank position sensor. I has a similar problem and that turned out to be the culprit.sigpicComment

not really sure what's going on now, the car ran perfectly fine all day today.

I had the same thing and it turned out the throttle cable needed to be adjusted.Comment
