    Low idle when cold, any tips?

    When starting my car after it has sat for a while I get a low idle that seems to hover right around 500rpms. It seems like the revs will drop to 400ish, and before the car stalls it will bounce back up to 500ish.

    This only seems to happen when the motor is cold, as when it does warm up the issue disappears.

    if it makes any difference, I have an 89 325i which was recently converted to a 5 speed.
    I like cats.

    is your ICV working? it should hum with the ignition on. that doesn't mean it's opened, but it's at least powered on..
