Throttle cable, adjusting
(MS 42.0)
The throttle assembly on MS 42.0 cars uses a throttle cable.
The cable should be adjusted any time it is disconnected or
replaced. This procedure requires the factory scan tool or an
equivalent to read and adjust throttle angle. It is recommend-
ed the procedure be done by an authorized
BMW dealer ser-
vice department
Basic adjustment:
Ensure that at idle (accelerator pedal in rest position) throt-
tle cable has detectable play at throttle lever attaching
point. Play must not exceed maximum allowable.
Adjust by turning knurled adjuster
(arrow) on end of throt-
tle cable sheath at throttle housing.
NOTE-
Faulty throttle adjustment values must be reset using the
BMW service tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTI or equivalent.

ldle speed control valve,
checking and replacing
3 mm (0.125 in)
The Idle speed control valve regulates Idle speed by red~rect-
ing air around the throttle valve. The ldle speed control valve
is mounted
d~rectly above the throttle housing. Accessing the
valve is best accomplished by
flrst removing the air fllter
housing and associated ducting.
Thevalve is supplied with batteryvoltage from the ECM relay.
The idle speed control valve incorporates a two-coil rotary ac-
tuator. The ground sides of each coil are pulsed simulta-
neously by the ECM. The duty cycle of each circuit is varied to
achieve the required idle speed.
A faulty idle speed control valve sets a fault code and the MIL
is illuminated when
OED II fault criteria are exceeded.
Before checking the idle speed control valve, confirm that the
throttle position sensor is working correctly.
- With engine running, check that idle speed control valve is
buzzing.
- Turn on AIC system or shift transmission into drive. ldle
should remain steady or increase slightly.
- If idle speed valve is not buzzing, or if idle decreases when
AIC is turned on, stop engine and disconnect harness con-
nector from idle speed valve.

Working inside E-box, disconnect ECM harness connector
(arrow) by releasing fastener and pivoting connector up and
off ECM.

Be sure ignition is OFF before disconnecting or reconnecting
DME system components.
Remove ECM from retaining brackets and lift off holder.

Before attempting to start engine, use
BMW service tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTl or equivalent:
* Code replacement ECM with application information (i.e
engine code, transmission type, etc.).
Align ECM to EWS (electronic immobilizer).

ECM pin assignments are given in Table c. For engine man-
agement system schematics, see
ELE Electrical Wiring Di-
agrams.
/ CAUTIOW I
Al~ays wait at least one mfnule after turning off the ignition
before
remov;ng [he connecror irom rhe ECM. If the con-
nector is removed before this time, residual power
in the
system relay may damage the
ECM.
Always connect or disconnect the control module con-
nector and meter probes with the ignition off.
When making checks at the ECM itself, a
breakout box
should be used to allow tests to be made with the connector
attached to the ECM. This also prevents damage to the small
terminals in the connector. As an alternative, the harness
connector housing can be separated so that electrical checks
can be made from the back of the connector.

Fuel Injection
When system faults are detected, a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) is stored in the engine control module (ECM). The MIL
also illuminates if an emissions-related fault is detected.
When faults arise, or
if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is
illuminated, begin troubleshooting by connecting BMW ser-
vice tester
DISplus. MoDiC, GTI or equivalent scan tool. The
capabilities of
OED II software has the potential to save hours
of diagnostic time and to help avoid incorrect component re-
placement and possible damage to system components.
CA UTIOiU-
The tests in this section may set fault codes (DTCs) in the
ECM and illuminate the MIL. After ail testing is completed,
access and clear DTC fault
memory using an OED I/ or
BMW compatible scan tool. See OBD On-Board Diag-
nostics.
Only use a digital
multimeter for electrical tests.
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm relay
posi-
. tion by identifying the wiring in the socket using the wir-
ing diagrams-found in ~~~~lectrical Wiring
Diagrams.
NOTE-
OED I1 fault memory (including an illuminated MIL) can
only be reset
using~the special scan tool. Removing the
connector from the ECM or disconnecting the battery will
not erase the fault
memory.
The BMW-dedicated 20-pin diagnostic link connector
(DLC) is in the right rear of the engine compartment.
The 16-pin OBD
I1 diagnostic connector (arrow) is located
inside the car on
the lower left dash panel.

ECM relay, testing
The engine control module (ECM) relay is energized via the
ECM and supplies battery positive
(B+) power to many of the
engine
management components and subsystems. If this re-
lay is faulty, the engine will not start.

Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm relay position by
identifying the wiring
in the socket using the wiring diagrams
in ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.

4 Release spring clips (arrows) from fuel injectors and pull in-
jector electrical loom straight up to remove.
4 Check that ECM signal is present at injector connectors.
- Connect digital voltmeter to fuel injector harness plug.
Operate starter and
check for voltage pulse.
* Repeat for each injector.
- Remove fuel injectors by removing retaining clips
- Installation is reverse of removal:
Fit new O-rings when installing injectors. For ease of instal-
lation, lightly lubricate all fuel system O-rings with assem-
bly lubricant.
Check that injector electrical connections are correctly fit-
ted and that
injectors are fully seated prior to installing iuel
rail mounting bolts.
Mass air flow sensor (MAF), replacing
The MAF sensor is provided with operating power from the
ECM relay. Based on calculated intake air mass, the MAF
generates
avarying voltage (approx. 0.5 - 4.5 vdc) as an input
signal to the ECM.
4 Remove MAF sensor:
Remove upper air filter housing locking clips.
Unscrew and remove MAF sensor harness
(A).
Disconnect intake air temperature sensor harness (B).
Loosen hose clamp (C).
Remove upper filter housing with sensor.

I Fuel Injection ldle speed control valve,
testing and replacing
ldle speed is maintained by the ECM through the idle speed
control valve. The idle control function compensates for en-
gine load and engine operating conditions. ldle speed is
adaptive through the ECM and no adjustments can be made.
Before checking valve, confirm that throttle position sensor is
working correctly.
NOTE-
The test given below is an electrical check only. It does not
check the mechanical operation of the valve. If the valve is
sticking, hanging up or is sluggish in operation, substituting a
Inown good valve is the best way to check it.
With engine running, check that idle speed control valve is
buzzing.
Turn on
AIC or shift car into drive. ldle should remain steady
or increase slightly.
If valve is not buzzing, or if idle decreases in step above, stop
engine and disconnect harness connector from valve.
4 Check resistance of valve across its terminals. Test values
are listed below.
ldle speed control valve coil resistance
Terminals
1 and 2 20 +2%
Terminals 2 and 3 20 +2Q
Terminals 1 and 3 40 +4%
NOTE-
If you suspect an intermittent fault, lightly tap the valve while
testing resistance.
With valve harness connector disconnected, check for bat-
tery voltage at redlwhite wire in connector with ignition on.
If . ~~ ~~
there is no voltage, check wiring between connector and 7 ECM relay. See ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams.
NOTE- - The idle speed control valve receivespositive (+) battery volt-
age from the ECM (DME main) relay
