If you want to make a big difference in keeping the throttlebody/icv/ etc
clean, remove the valve cover breather hose! Replace the hose with a valve
cover breather filter, and put a cap on the throttlebody! It’ll keep the
engine from sucking in excess oil when driving “spiritedly.” Lol. I was
having to add a quart of oil every 2-3weeks, thought maybe it was piston
rings. Wrong. Stupid valve cover breather hose!
hey dude, good vid, usefull! (Y)
i wana ask you, i got M20B27 eta engine, i have high A/F ratio plus my idle
is very high arround 2000 RPm and above any suggestions?
Hey, does the ICV make a faint whistling sound when car is running? I’m
noticing a slight pressurized whistling sound coming from the ICV area…
wondering if it’s the spinning component in the inside of it, or maybe a
leak in one of the attaching hoses… Any insight/help is appreciated.
Don’t use wood glue on that metal on metal connection. Wood glue is an
adhesive, not a sealant. RTV gasket maker, applied in a thin bead is
preferred.
I have an 88 cabrio, lowered black, I also sell cars and work on mine when
I can figure out how. I have to say you present every thing so well, keep
these going man, you have a gift.

Nice video dude. I did clean it with Gasoline did work way better than the
throttle cleaner.
So I used EGR – same stuff.
And it might be my imagination but it seems my engine idles smoother now.
It used to jot between 750-780 RPM when idle but now it stays stable at 750.
Very easy fix.
Gonna try this! Good vid.
Just bought an E30 325i Sport 1987 and just found you. Subscribed and
waiting for more! keep it up man
The cool thing about the clips is if you push down the middle it releases
it. I figured this out putting a new engine harness in.
great vid
My 84 325e doesn’t have that? Do I not have a ICV? I have a vid of it on my
channel cuz I’m trying to sell it

You don’t have to pull that metal clip off, all you have to do is press on
it and pull back on the connector.

Excellent, thank you.

Any alternatives to carb cleaner?
