    1992 325i cabrio project questions

    ok, so i did search my question on google the r3vlimited after the question and i got no answer. i finally thought i should get my other 330 running right, when i first start it up, it takes a few seconds and my foot on the gas, on a cold motor wont idel and car is super slow and sounds like a lawnmower.. i was thinking maybe vacume leak? spark plug wires? i bought the car for 500, it is an automatic, heated seats, rust free, front seats shot and it needs to be cleaned. for a california e30, its a pretty good price.
    all or any ideas glady accepted..
    thanks guys

    It won't Idle

    could be lots of things,

    Temp Sensors
    Fuel pump / filter
    injectors
    Airfilter
    plugs
    wires
    timing / cap / dist

    I would grab a bently guide and start with the basics

    I'd start with the easy stuff and work your way down.

    Any idea when the timing belt was done? do that too
