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)
