Re: Hunting/Surging Idle

BimmerJoe - feel your pain. I've been helping a friend diagnose and fix the same exact thing you are seeing on an 83 633 - surging/hunting idle when warm. When cold, idle was fine. Removing the dipstick settled down the surging but left the idle high. We went through some of the same troubleshooting...

FS Front Bumper w/Rubber Impact Trim $295 shipped (Edmond Ok)

1987 BMW Front Bumper with Rubber Impact Trim I have a front bumper in very good condition off a 1987 E24 635. It has no rust, dents or dings and the anodized coating is not cloudy like you see with bumpers this age. It appears this bumper was a replacement at some time during the life of this E24 s...

Re: Long Shot - Looking for Griot's Silver Wheel Paint

Bert - talked with customer services and they no longer sell this paint. Sent you a PM but also wanted to get this posted to the forum as a follow-up.

Thanks again for your help!

Re: Looking for help "hunting idle" at cold start "surging idle" at warm start

We're kind of stuck at this point and prefer not to "throw" parts at it. Anybody have ideas on next diagnostic/resolution steps?

Thanks--Marc

Re: Looking for help "hunting idle" at cold start "surging idle" at warm start

Update: We have reset the throttle body butterfly flap to .015in (was a little too tight against the throttle body) and the TPS per the manual. We originally thought we had a bad TPS but upon further testing we get the correct continuity results per the manual for at closed throttle, partially opene...

Looking for help "hunting idle" at cold start "surging idle" at warm start

I’m helping a friend resolve a cold and warm start issue and would appreciate any guidance. It’s a 1983 633 with about 80k miles. He recently purchased it from a consignment dealer and initially thought he had some bad gas because the car sat for a while. On cold start – it stalls out on the first t...

Long Shot - Looking for Griot's Silver Wheel Paint

I heard that Griot’s was repackaging Wurth Silver Wheel Paint, so I picked up a can this past week – b...
