    Hey everyone! I would love some clarification on throttle body and valvetronic: When the car is warming up - it uses throttle body to control airflow. After a minute or two it switches to valvetronic and uses that to control airflow. And while driving - throttle body is fully opened all the...

    Bought January 2019 with 238k miles. First BMW. After a couple of months, unless I "nursed" the accelerator, the car would misfire, then there would be a constant SES light and the computer seemed to shut off the offending coil pack(s) until the car was shut down and re-started. After that the...

    Car can be working fine than all of a sudden the idle kicks down and then revs from 1k to 1.5k every two seconds. Pressing the gas pedal does nothing except raise the rev intensity a little bit. The only way to travel is to put it in drive and have the car lurch forward for a second then almost...

    So I replaced the starter motor in my 2000 323Ci and after reassembling the intake manifold and related tubing, the car starts but the engine bogs and struggles to stay running. I took apart the intake and found that there was an excessive amount of oil in the throttle body. This due to me...

    I was wondering if any one has ever freshened up their throttle body? I seen a video with a Mitsubishi and the guy changed the rings that the throttle plates "arms" go through to help the plate rotate open easier and as much as it should. My cars got 280klm and it feels like I have to give it...

    I'm in the process of replacing my alternator. While I had the intake off, I was looking at the throttle body. It doesn't seem to be closed all the way. There is also oily buildup inside. I bought throttle body cleaner, and would like to know what you guys have done to clean it out. Can you...

    I had my intake manifold, valve cover gaskets and fuel injectors replaced. When I detached my breather assembly and looked in each of the throttle bodies there was oil in side of them.
