I'll look at mine when I get home from work. I also have a 325e. |

I completely forgot about this, sorry. The idle air control |
|
valve goes there. I have no idea how your car isn't idling at 5k |
|
with that wide open like that. |

Revs wildly for a while, then surges from an idle to wot |
|
Very helpful, thanks |
|
Any idea where to get one? |

Considering this thing costs over $300 new from the dealer, you |
|
might want to just get a used one from eBay. |

|
OR, if you're handy, just make a restrictor plate with about a |
|
3/16" hole in it. If the idle ends up too low, make the hole |
|
bigger. |

Cool cool. Once the temp gets real cold over winter, you may |
|
find you'll have to give the car some throttle to keep it |
|
running until the engine warms up. Same with using the AC. But |
|
it's definitely cheaper than a new valve. |

Oh im not dailying it, might fix a couple things and sell it, or |
|
more likely, drift it for a while, and swap the motor when it |
|
blows up... |
