can the e36 m42 ICV be used for the e30 m42? I have an e36 engine in my 318is, and i swapped over everything from my old e30 m42 (intake manifold, pulleys, valve cover, etc...) it's been running fine for over a year now.
I slowly noticed the idle started sucking and looked at the ICV, it's all seized up and the rotating piece inside looks like someone tried to use a screwdriver to help get it moving.
I have the ICV from the donor e36 however it's a different shape, but appears to have the same electrical connection. Any reason it wouldn't work if I routed the hoses properly?
It's a completely different shape, but with some fittings and a torch I think I can get the hoses modified to work.
