So I own an M42 swapped 2002 (which is a blast), however there's a few things that need work. One of them is the AFM. Ive taken the old one apart and fixed it, but it's still a bit wonky sometimes. The motor is from a 1990 e30 318is
I bought a 1995 BMW 318ti with an M42. I took the AFM off the e36 and put it on the e30 motor. And then the car would barely start. It was a very lumpy idle and would cut out after about 15 seconds.
Does anyone know why? I've accepted that they are probably different underneath but does anyone have any links/data/experience for this? I've not been able to find anything about the AFM on either motor as to the differences between them. Not really worried if it doesn't work, just curious why.
