Subject: Adjusting the idle on 83 fuel injected
Author: steplife : member since October, 2006 : 3 posts

I was hoping someone could help me with adjusting my idle. I just picked up an 83is The paint and interior are in great shape, the motor just needed a new valve. The car is running fine now except for the idle. I do know to get the idle really correct I would need a CO2 analyzer. I have the CD from BMW for the car but it does not show adjusting the idle for the fuel injected cars very clearly.
There is what seems to be an air screw and a throttle plate adjusting screw. Does anyone know what the correct procedure is to set the idle?
Thanks for any help or links to help on this or any other boards.
