320i cold idle issues

[keith2874]

Hi there

I have a 1990 320i which has a cold idle issue

When you start it it is overfuelling and can easily flood - it then hunts for the first few minutes but once warm runs fine with no issues

It's had a new blue sensor and we've checked for air leaks but found no issues

Does anyone have experience of this and if so what should I be looking for next? I have heard sometimes issues like this are related to a corroded multiplug on the engine or dodgy AFM but really would appreciate any pointers before we start pulling it apart again.

Regards

Keith

could well be your idle control valve , needs cleaning .
next check tps is set correctly.
then the obvious plugs. leads and rotor arm and dizzy cap are good condition.

then i,d go fuel pressure . leaking injector possible

Just wondering if you got anywhere with this at all?What you describe is basically exactly the same issue I have on a '84 Baur 320i.I suspect it's an issue with my cold-start valve (air slide valve) ,which is very different to what you have on the later E30 though.
