Searched but couldn't find: DIY to change RPM idle/

cotmfk · 05-12-2011, 08:20 PM

Does anyone have a DIY to change the RPM idle? Mine is at 550 and keeps stuttering. I would prefer 600 or 700.

Thanks for any help!

i was having a dipping idle on my e46. gave the ICV a thorough cleaning and it idled perfect after that. not sure if its same process on e90 but it wasnt tooo too bad. did have to take apart a bit of the engine

i had the same issue i took off my MAF cleaned it with MAF cleaner and ran some seafoam in the intake let it sit for 30 mins turn your car on and make sure u hold down the throttle pedal cause it will die. u will see a check eng light and it will feel like its missfiring dont worry work it in till u stop seeing smoke. turn your car off turn back on and it should idle fine.
well thats what i did to mine! lol

I have the same problem with idling.. goes down to 500 then jumps back up.

Is it the LPFP?

I also had a misfire in Cylinder 6 so I am replacing all my plugs and coils this coming weekend.
