    ANOTHER ICV Question

    model: 318is (M42)
    Year: 1991
    ECU says MOTRONIC.

    My intake manifolds are off and i am trying to cover all the bases for my high idle. I am replacing all the crappy cracked hoses under the intake manifolds. The ICV is disconnected. When the key was in the "start" position, i could hear a buzzing in the ICV when a screwdriver was held to it and on my ear. I suspect it still doesn't work though.

    There are two pins on the ICV, What should the resistance be between them? It is currently just over 8 Ohms. (seems low)

    I have read on M3 boards that their ICV's when bad will fry two transistors on the ECU. Does this happen on M42's as well?

    ALSO: Would any harm be done to close the coolant circuit that goes through the throttle body plate?

    Ever so sorry if i searched poorly... but i was unable to find any DIRECT answers to these questions.

    TIA y'all

    no harm in closing the coolant circuit, but it depends on where you live. in cold weather it's there to help the car warm up faster and keep the throttle from icing up. you might appreciate that if it gets really cold outside.
