Rough idle at warm up (M2)


mariom2

Recommended Posts

I am now to this forum, so I thought I ask the experts, car not only driving rough at idle, but it dyes while driving. No problem to restart, but it could stop 3-4 times on a short trip. I also smell significant fuel in around the gas tank???

car has been modified with a S14 engine, fun all around, but I just bought it and am sorting through things.

Where do I start?

72- Tii M2

87- Porsche 911 Turbo

01- Mercedes CLK Cabrio

07-Touareg V8

91- NSX

08- VW GTI

you need to go into deep details about your supply fuel pump?,

routing of hoses?

any sharp bends or kinks?,

the wiring throughout?,

Got temp sensors ? working correctly??

your fuel pressure reading?............. photos

any fuel small is a bad thing.

Is it the original ignition/fuel management

out of the M3 donor car?

or some home grown modified electronic stuff?

was the warm-up running qualities know

when the S14 lived in it's original body?

Gas SMELL! = Loss of pressure?, danger of fire?,

killing you and your passengers?

Have a great Saturday

p.s. need photos

sometimes all your describing things does

nothing for long distance problem solving -

one good photo might

show someone here the cause right away.

First thing to look for would be Cracks in the rubber filler neck that feed the gas tank......they ALL crack. Give it a squeeze and they usually are pretty obvious. ( If its hard and does not want to Squeeze then it most surely is cracked too)

Let's see the car :)

How low is it idling? You can adjust that big screw just above the "M" in this pic to bring up the idle if needed.

Like CD said, it could be anything. When was the car last tuned up?

Look for gas leaks at the tank seam also, especially when full.

Two running things. Two broken things.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
