You say it goes lean when you get off the throttle.  Many of the fuel injection systems completely turn off the injectors when they see a closed throttle signal from the TPS AND the RPM is above a certain speed (usually 1300-1400 rpm) If the engine decelerates too quickly it might stall before the ECU can turn the injectors back on and actually get some fuel all the way to the cylinders.  You might also try setting the idle speed you want with the throttle plate and use the IAC to raise the idle speed for cold start or when the A/C compressor is running (if you have A/C) so any lag time between the ECU and the IAC does not let the idle fall below your selected speed. 

The injectors are still on. There is a fuel cutoff functionality that I used to see if it was a false lean condition, but it was not the case.

I am sitting in the McDonald’s waiting for the dyno shop to open it have it dyno tuned. This is the best I can do with what I have. After this I may peanut out the intake, but this is about it. Not sure if it is a good idea as some have reported that it messed up the flow under the carb and caused it to act funny in the transition.

Ok 

spill the beans, we have all been following your adventure. What did the dyno tell you. Also how was the shop? Where is it and what do they charge? What’s included? I ask because I need to visit a dyno myself

So the shop is super nice, along with the tech.   We had a good chat about the car, what I have done, and the problems I was having.  The overall commentary is that the car is running rich.  I am at 12.5 at idle, 12.9 at cruize, 12.5 at WOT.   He said that other than that my tune was pretty good. 

 

He added some timing on the decel (low map/low rev) to help take the pop out of the deceleration.  His thought was it was either too much fuel to too little timing.  This I don't think was accurate as when he leans out the overall mix, he leans out the decel.  Also it always goes lean immediately after I take my foot off the throttle.   The pop is very bad, so not sure it helped. 

 

Whenever I go over 12.9 afr at idle I get surging, the 13.9 that it was set at worked for a bit, but then the surge became very pronounced.

 

So not really anything alarming or out of the ordinary.  We confirmed that my crank trigger is working properly and indexed correctly. 

 

The tune that he left me with was markedly worse that what I have,  to the point where i put my original tune back in, and just bumped the timing on decel and changed my cruize to 13.7.   

 

So in short nothing earth shaking, I think what I have is kinda tired, and I will have to live with the idle overrun issue until I can get the motor freshened up and perhaps a set of ITB's.   Whatever is happening is probably the result of the fundamental design of the EFI and motor.   Some weird pressure/temperature/timing thing that coalesces and manifests itself in a idle overrun.   I or perhaps it is compression related, some sort of dynamic/static compression deal where the compression changes with RPM, and on decel the compression falls off and it just can't catch itself.  In either case it can't be diagnosed with the data at hand.  It isn't my configuration, or installation. It is something that is strangely unique. 

 

I doubt that I will have the opportunity to compare notes with anyone regarding the sniper efi and the M10,  although I think it is just a matter of time before a big company produces a EFI replacement for the DGAV type of Webber.  

 

I am off to the Spanish Banks Cars and Coffee tomorrow with an absolutely filthy car, as I have had less than zero time to do anything this week.  I may wake up early tomorrow and give it a once over scrub. 

 

My next major move (besides pondering)  is to road trip down to Patrick at Midnight to see what is what.   If there is anyone that wants to join me, please feel free to reach out.  All I hope is that the Canadian dollar gains some ground on the U.S, the conversion is painful.

Ok so how do I resolve this?  I feel I owe you all for your help on this.  How about I just take like $200 and donate it to a charity on behalf of the BMW 2002 Faq forum.

 

There are tons of great charities.  Is there one that the FAQ supports?

I feel that you owe us nothing, this forum has always been a supportive place, pay it back by helping others. If anything write a clear and concise how to tech article helping others with the steps of how to integrate all of the hardware you have. Although the project you embarked on had some issues, you have learned more than most while figuring things out. Share the wealth, a well written tutorial will save someone more than the 200 dollar donation, and will continue to save other 02 fans for as long as the forum is running.

Ok so who knew Hogs are good?, and maybe peanuts less so?

 

So I just got around to "hogging" out the intake to see if that would make a difference on my overshoot.  It most definitely changed things.  First impressions are that it seems less spastic, and more predictable.  

 

The reason why I think it may be running better is that by removing the center bit (in the picture below), and hogging it out to the shape of the weber gasket gave the TBI more air space.  The thought is that gives the air and fuel more time to mix before it has to hang a right and go into the runners.  Perhaps due to the space there is more turbulence, or the MAP/IAC get better signals.   I suspect that some fuel may have been hitting and condensing on the side of the holes cut in the intake manifold and falling on the bottom of the manifold.  

 

What I was shocked by is how thick the manifold is below the TBI.  The bit below is at least 2-2.5 CM thick, so adding that to the adapter plate thickness meant that the overall thickness below the carb, including the base of the carb itself is at 4-4.5 CM.  I suspect that the velocity of air would pelt the bottom of the intake or spray the sides of the ports in the manifold with fuel. 

 

An important note, it is essential that the bottom of the TBI be covered appropriately, meaning it can't be open to free air.  There are ports both for MAP and IAC that are designed to be part of the intake bore of the TBI.  With the adapter plate it provides that coverage and routes these channels correctly. 

 

I know some have complained about hogging out the intake only to have their DGAV start to act up.  If the bottom is not covered then this is likely why it starts to act funny... or so i have read.  

 

I will continue to drive it and let it self tune before I come to any conclusions, but at least it changed something.

a month after installing all new manifold and and other intake / 'vacuum' related items all nuts needed tightening. This was a very frustrating and hard to find cause for vacuum leak that caused too much air in the mix and consequential backfire and stalling under braking. I'd be checking again for vacuum leaks.

This throttle body has  "hidden" fuel injectors which spray into a cavity and then the fuel exits (squirts) out a series of small holes around the perimeter of the throttle bores, correct?

 

I wonder if the amount of fuel needed to idle a 2002 engine is a little too small for that type of system deal with especially when trying to catch the idle on decel. The fuel falls out of the holes ok when idling but the G forces of a hard stop sticks the fuel from the front 1/2 or 2/3 of the holes in the bore to the bore walls. Sort of like pissing into the wind. An engine with more fuel flow would not have this issue.

 

A throttle body with an exposed fuel injector (like GM TBI) would also not have this issue since the injector would be atomizing fuel directly into the airstream.

    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
