Help-'86 528e



 Hello folks, this is my second posting on this digest.
  
  I have had this nagging engine problem for the past a few weeks, 
  I will appreciate very much if someone could give me a good advice.
  My car is '86 528e, and recently, it has 
 developed warm starting problem, and occasional stall.
  After the engine is fully warmed up, when I stop the car and put 
 the gear into "P"ark position, the car stalls after showing
 erratic idle speed (fluctuation of about 100-200 rpm at around 900-400 rpm)
 for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. When I leave the gear in
 "D"rive  position during the stop, the engine does not stop.
   What could be causing the problem ?  
   I put new idle control valve and ICU to cure warm starting problem,
 and the warm starting prob. is solved, but still warm engine stalling
 at P.
   Yesterday, I pour in a fuel injection cleaner (Techron), and it seems that
 the warm engine stalls much less frequently (about 1 out of 5 vs 4 out of 
 5 previously).  So, I am suspecting dirty fuel injectors,
 but I could be wrong...

   Your help will be greatly appreciated..

   Thanks in advance,

    Myungshin Im (myung@domain.elided)
