CT e30s

[wcipolli]

I'm looking for someone with a known working AFM, my car is idling a bit funky and it doesn't seem to change at all when i unplug the AFM, looking to test my theory. Also, if anyone is in the area and considers themselves a e30 savant my e30 has been to 2 reputable shops who couldn't figure out the idling issue. A nice whisky or beer for whoever helps and is of age!

Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

[yanal]

Info about the car and location would be nice

89 325i in New Haven County, Connecticut! The o2 sensor is about a 6 months old. I unplugged it and it ran like it has a big vacuum leak, the idle went up and down. Is it safe to assume it's doing its job?

I work in Danbury so Roxbury isn't too far!

I will be at the shop in new Britain this weekend

yanal, you have a shop? It looks like I'll be meeting up with backwoodsE30 tomorrow but if I can't figure it out myself, maybe I can bring you some business.

The shop belongs to my friend, I only work on my cars over there, you're welcome to stop by and swap parts if you want

yanal, I met up with backwoodse30 today and swapping the afm didn't change anything. Unless you could think of anything else to swap..

AFM did do it huh, I was pretty certain that was it. You have us stumped Will.

Idle control valve ? Maybe

Cleaned and tested by a local shop (sharky who posted above.) Two shops and countless testing and replacing by myself and I'm no where closer!
