In Reply to: my '82 won't idle and the heat doesn't help posted by Trick on June 29, 2001 at 14:28:27:

Hard starting when engine is hot, or hot weather? Describe idle problem more.....idles bad regardless of pressing in the clutch?

Have you checked to ensure you're getting spark?

How does it run when cold?

Does the engine run excessively hot?


can anyone help me here? I have an '82 320i that is hard to start usually only when it is hot. However, the worst problem is that it won't idle. It dies almosy immediately when I put in the clutch. When I shift gears it hesitates as well probably b/c it is trying to die for a second before the next gear revitalizes it. I replaced the fuel pumps, accumulator, air intake boot and $400 later, I still have the same problem. I would love for some one to give me an itemized list of what to check and where each item is located on the car. Thank you.
