Hi my 320 keeps stalling at low revs. It has cut out on me approaching a junction and also stationary at a junction but then i can leave it running no problem? Can you help with this 'intermitant' annoying fault please?

check wires to plugs and gas filter,if that fails do a tune up.

hi...
this is may be due to the idealing problem.set the idealing in correct amount so that it doesnt stops.

considering the speed sensors check any signal comin to the sensing unit is getting intruppted.

i think only these are the problem wihch may be the reason

Try removing the throttle pot and cleaning it with carb cleaner this will sort it out as any heavy carbon deposites will cause your problem

the throttle body needs cleanin-also inspec other parts of fuel system like IAC,TPS... perform a scan

BMW CUTS OUT
A few things to check.

1. Is fuel pump delivering enough fuel.
2. Is injectors clean. Perhaps dirt in fuel. replace fuel filter
3. Air leakage at top air intake of manifold at ICV idle control valve. Two hoses inside this housing prone to perishing.
4. Throttle position sensor faulty.
5. Mass air flow sensor faulty.
6. ICV faulty or dirty. comon fault on older e36.

Havent done it yet but ICV is easy to clean according to internet. instruction available at bmw e36 blog. All off above can be tested by yourself according to manual.

Here is the cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

youll have to check them ,there routed around the intake manifold,could be anywhere.

This sounds like the idle speed control valve

You need to reset the throttle body. Sometimes you can do this by going out to your car and turning the key to the "on" position. Don't crank the engine - just turn it to on. Let it sit like this for 15 min. Your throttle body shoulld reset. Good luck. Check out audiforums. c o m or audiworld for audi spec issues. Good luck!

possible a vacuum switch or fuel blockage
