HI.
I have a 1991 325i, lately every time i start when cold it start well but when i put my foot on the throttle the revs go down instead of up and sounds like it's about to cut out. also i get a smell of petrol. But when it warms up it runs fine.
However few days ago, while driving, I stopped in traffic and the revs started to go up and down (between 1500 and 400) and sounded like it's about to cut off, smelled of petrol too. Since then it does it all the time and I can't drive the car.
Any suggestions?
I tried cleaning the Idle control valve which seems ok and the bits seem to move freely inside.
Is it better to have it code read or does someone have an easier solution.
Cheers
