Hi
I have a 1994 440Si (1.8) The idle on the car has been getting progressively worse over the last 18months or so...it doesnt stall or anything it is just really lumpy and almost 'phutt phutting' out the exhaust.
I know that the units fitted to these cars are not the smoothest around but it definitely did not idle like this when I got the car. It had its 90K service a couple of months ago and the dealer could not find anything obvious. It had new plugs and leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm. I have checked all the vacuum hoses I can find.
What am I missing? It does not seem to affect the econmy (an average of 34.5 mpg since I got the car)I am just worried that it could get to the point where the air pulses damage the catalyst.
Thanks in advance
Adrian
