hi after some advice about a m3 e36 3.0l the idle has be getting gradually more erratic until today when it stalled as i lock the garage, just wondering what could be causing it, i also have a slight spluttering at normal temp, like a misfire but not as bad the car hasnt had new plugs for about 12,000 miles and has 2 green lights left till INSP 1, the o2 sensors were replaced in Aug so pretty sure they are fine. any sugestions would be greatly appreciated. ------------- M3 3.0l e36. |

Did it appear to mis-fire before it cut out? If it did, maybe a spark plug coil, if not IACV playing up/sticking? Could also have an air leak? HTH ------------- [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1a1.jpg">[IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y135/ShepsM3/New-1b1.jpg"> |

no the revs just slowly died off, IACV??? i guess its something which controls the idle, where would be a good place to look for the air leak ------------- M3 3.0l e36. |
