Hi all, need some help before I head down to workshops. Would need some inputs before getting workshops to check it out.. had some really bad experience with workshop that tells me to change so many things which is not needed to be changed.. i'm driving a e36 316iM
here's my problem..
1) morning when start the car, the RPM fluctuates from 400 - 1000 rpm and car sometimes seems to be dying already... the rpm will keep going up and down ..
2) even after I drive for like 15 min, when i'm at neutral or with the clutch stepped or when at stop position, my idling again will keep jumping up and down..this only stops after i drive for quite some time... but at times, even driving for 30min, the problem will still occur intermittently.
3) when i'm driving, sometimes when i step on my clutch and let my car freely roll down a slope (even though my speed is like 50-70km/h) my car will drop rpm and dies off.... I will have to stop my car, crank and step on the gas before it comes back to life. If i don't step on gas, it will crank and dies off immediately... this happened to me twice so far...
I have so far cleaned up ICV and Air Flow Sensor at R2D... i'm also using the Volker spark plugs . Been on it for 18k, but was told that it can last much longer than 18k ... Also changed my Air filter.. using stock air filter bought from Eng soon.
Would appreciate your inputs Thanks bro !
