Hey Guys, I need some help with my 318i. I changed the air cleaner to a bomz style as I have seen them on a lot of 318s. After installing the cleaner (about a...
When the valve is disconnected, the idle is supposed to jump to 2000rpm or more... so it sounds like your valve is not closing enough when plugged in (for what...
Thomas, Reference the little hose. I left it plugged in and when I initially installed the aftermaket filter the idle was slightly higher but not enough to be...

Hi, I have tested the idle control valve by removing it and sending power to the terminals per the book. The valve seems to open and close fine. Also there is...
There are a number of things listed in the archive/search of this group... most who have run into this problem end up removing the valve and installing a...
Hi guys.First of all ,thanks to Thomas and all other guys that gave me ideas about solving my fuel consumption issue.I've installed a home made Air Fuel...
Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the idle control valve and throwing some volts at it while it is running. I just didn't think...
Radone, I'm not sure what bypass screw your talking about-is it the one on the idle control valve itself? (I tried that one and it made no difference). I did...
Hi, I checked the idle speed control valve while the engine was warm and thru some volts after disconnecting it. The idle dropped right off and would almost...
Joe, I'm not much help to you, but I will say that about 4 years ago my son had a 318i for his car in college. It started idling real high, much like you...
A leaky cold start valve will only cause a high idle if there is extra air to go with it. If you had a leaky valve and no vacuum leaks, then the engine would...
Hi, Thanks Thomas/Tom Carson/others for the info. I'm going to hit the hardware store tomorrow or Sat and come up with a good homemade brass valve unless I can...
I ran down to the local Ace Harware store and purchased brass fittings, and a brass gas line valve also six inches of 1/2 inch black hose. The car now idles...
Bravo, Joe! Would you send me a photo of the finished product? I'll most likely never own a 318i ever again, but your effort is worth seeing. Well done! Tom...

I, too, have toyed with the idea of replacing the ICV with something more mechanical and reliable. Even had something rigged up once, while waiting for...
I know those parallel hoses you're talking about, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why they ever did that either. I think only one year has them...
Dennis, Hey I will send you a photo but it maybe a few days. It is working awesome, although I can see it being alittle hard to start on the cold days. Joe ...
Thomas, Sorry for not getting back earlier, I have been way busy. I will in a few days send you a pic. It really is working out nice. But it is warm in...
Clarke, I will absolutley send you a pic. I am amazed at how well it works but it is warm in Michigan so I don't know what a really cold start will be like. It...
Hello everybody. I posted a new photo in a separate album(tech) and i want you guys to look at it. On my engine(european) there is this throttle bypass screw...
Radone, No mine is the exact same as what you describe. The difference is the ICV valve is 300 new, Cold Start Valve is 130 new, Throttle Position Sensor is...
Brian, I posted some photos of the Manual Idle Control in the group. Joe Brian <bjm2cv@...> wrote: I, too, have toyed with the idea of replacing the...
Hey guys and gals, I was going through my BMW parts bins yesterday and came across this brand new still-in-the-original-sealed-bag 80 degree T-stat for a 318i....
My 84's automatic tranny goes into neutral whenever I come to a complete stop instead of downshifting to 1st gear. I have to shift the selector to 1st in order...
