Cleaning E36 ICV (Idle Control Valve) . . . DIY! http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2007/06/23/cleaning-e... Hi Guys,Car hesitation and RPM bouncing are the most common problems between the BMW E36 cars. It seems that many cars have the problem and the problem is very hard to fix. I recall that even my previous E30 used to have the problem, but some how, the problem was solved. Maybe with something that I did and didn t notice it fixed the problem.
BMW E36 M42 DISA Valve http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2008/07/03/bmw-e36-m4... As you may know, I'm facing trouble with my BMW E36 318is idle and until now, I was unable to totally fix the problem. I've cleaned the ICV, changed oxygen sensor, checked for vacuum leaks but this didn't solve my problem. I still have a problem in one of the knock sensors, but mechanics say that it doesn't affect the idle in anyway.
