haters. Im getting stickers made for my car soon. gonna say something like "///MOMENTUM.THREE"
my m42 has developed an annoying issue. idles like shit hot and cold, like 500rpm or so where I have to finesse it to keep her going. In addition to that there is a related problem where while accelerating (at any rpm range, it doesnt matter it seems like) the engine has ignition cut or something for a split second and the car bucks. sometimes it will do it a few times in a row, other times just once. Both problems developed at same time. For now I cleaned the ICV and found that the vane is frozen in place. unplugged the ICV and now my hot idle is around 1500 - car is atleast dailyable.
fuel pressure tested good. AFM is not even 4 months old and is refurbed straight from BAVREST. TPS tested good, may be a bit out of spec but not bad (ranged from 1.4kohm to 4.3kohm).
car is throwing a cam sensor code, but I swapped out cam sensors between two known good ones and no difference.

it means racecar! haha just kidding :)
so I found:
- TPS tested good
- coolant temp sensor reading 230ohms once warmed up, not bad right? spec is rihgt around there +/- 10%
- coil packs all ohmed out good. removed the HT leads one by one and the idle changed equally on each cylinder
- engine wont idle with AFM unplugged... so AFM is good I assume, its brand new after all
- unplugged o2 sensor and drove around, problem was way worse. same symptoms just 4X as often, accelerating up hills was painful LOL
- ICV meausres out at 8ohms resistance and idle raises significantly when unplugged... the ICV feels frozen when I cleaned it by hand the other day so not sure what is really going on. Goign to get a new ICV and go from there.
any ideas
