Cleaning E36 ICV (Idle Control Valve) . . . DIY! http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2007/06/23/cleaning-e... Hi Guys,Car hesitation and RPM bouncing are the most common problems between the BMW E36 cars. It seems that many cars have the problem and the problem is very hard to fix. I recall that even my previous E30 used to have the problem, but some how, the problem was solved. Maybe with something that I did and didn t notice it fixed the problem.
BMW E36 Rough Idle Problems http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2008/01/30/bmw-e36-ro... Rough idle problems are really common on BMW E36 cars and there are a lot of problems that may cause this to appear. First I will show you a video of such a rough idle and then list the possible problems that may cause that.

I've cleaned the ICV, changed oxygen sensor, checked for vacuum leaks but this didn't solve my problem. I still have a problem in one of the knock sensors, but mechanics say that it doesn't affect the idle in anyway.
BMW E36 Knock Sensors http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2008/07/24/bmw-e36-kn... As you may know, I'm still having a problem with my car's idle. I mainly have 2 problems:1. When I start my car, the idle bounces for a while and then it becomes stable. 2. While driving, I sometimes notice that the RPM (Rotation Per Minute) moves down until it reaches 200 or maybe less then it comes back again especially when I'm pressing the clutch pedal.
