_InDiGo-;1026940 said:Dear all, I have the same issues before.
Apparently I did a software change for the valvetronic to be set to 0.3mm or something. And the car did not stall anymore.
After which when I service my car at another workshop, I asked the tech how I could improve my pickup. He simply changed the software settings to 0.80mm for the valvetronic.
After which my car had the same problem of engine stall. Hence I suspect very greatly it was the settings issue and went to the workshop to reset it back to 0.30mm.
Problem was solved. Car no longers stall. Worth a try

Just went to the workshop today in attempt to troubleshoot the issue. As luck would have it, my E90 was completely stable when I was at the workshop. Idled for more than 30mins with no stalling at all! Sigh!
In any case, I asked that the adaptation value for the valvetronic motor minimum lift to be rest to 0.3mm - it was previously set to 0.8mm. I keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully this solves my stalling issue too.
Will update all again in due time!

lkm;1025114 said:Damn sian.... I've been having a stalling issue for awhile now. This happens only at idle and when then engine is warmed. Hasn't happened to me when engine is cold. I've had a couple of times it stalled on me at traffic lights and worse - when i was in a multi-storey carpark waiting in line on a slope. The brakes would suddenly turn hard and power steering lost when engine stalls.
Had the MAF sensor and idle control valve cleaned twice already. Also, poured in 2 bottles of Redline Fuel System Cleaner before.
Most irritating part is that no fault codes were flagged up. The check engine light was never illuminated. On occasions where I was waiting at a carpark, gear in neutral, waiting for wife, and when the car suddenly shudders and RPM drop, sometimes a step on the accelerator pedal will bring the car back to life. Else if I hit the accelerator too late, the engine just stalls...
Heeeelp!
Damn sian. =(
