Idle speed
Engine idle speed can change due to a number of factors, in-
cluding normal wear. The idle speed is electronically adaptive
and not adjustable. See
130 Fuel Injection for more informa-
tion.
Catalytic converter and oxygen sensors
OBD II enhanced emission standards require the engine
control module (ECM) to monitor the oxygen content in the
exhaust with oxygen sensors placed before and after the cat-
alytic converter. This allows for tighter control of tail pipe
emissions and also allows the ECM to diagnose converter
problems. If the ECM detects that catalytic converter or oxy-
gen sensor efficiency has degraded past a certain
prepro-
grammed limit, it will turn on the malfunction indicator light
(MIL), and store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the ECM.
See OBD On-Board Diagnostics for more information on
OBD
ll systems.

Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
4 Working above engine, disconnect the following:
Vent line from cylinder head cover
(A).
. Oxygen sensor connectors (B).
Electrical harness connector from VANOS solenoid
valve
(C).
Electrical harness connectors at throttle valve position
switch
(D), ASC valve position switch (E), fuel injector har-
ness
(F) and vent valve (G).
CAUTION-
Be sure to mark oxygen sensor harness connectors so that
they can be reassembled correctly Do not interchange con-
nectors.
4 Where applicable, remove schraeder valve cap (arrow) from
air connection on fuel rail. Using a tire chuck, blow fuel back
through feed line using a brief burst of compressed air (max-
imum of
3 bar or 43.5 psi).
WARNING-
. Fuel in fuel line is underpressure (approx. 3 - 5 bar or 45 -
75 psi) and may be expelled. Do not smoke or work near
heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher
handy Before disconnecting fuel hoses, wrap a cloth
around fuel hoses to absorb any leaking fuel. Catch and
dispose of escaped fuel. Plug open fuel lines.
- Always unscrew the fuel rank cap ro release pressure
;n the tank before working on the tank or lines.
Disconnect fuel lines by sliding locking collar in (arrows) and
pulling lines apart.
NOTE-
BMW uses three styles of fuel line connections; a one-time
use
clamp; a locking fitting that uses BMWspecial tool 16 1
050 to release; and a quick release sleeve (above) that dis-
connects the line when depressed.

Warnings and cautions
For personal safety, as well as the protection of sensitive
electronic components, adhere to the warnings and cautions
on the following pages.
WARNING-
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive.
Do not smoke or work on a car near heaters or other fire
hazards when diagnosing and repairing fuel system prob-
lems. Have a fire extinguisher available in case of an emer-
gency
Renew fuel system hoses, clamps and O-rings any
time they are removed.
When working on an open fuel system, wear suitable
hand protection, as prolonged contact
with fuel can
cause illnesses and skin disorders.
* The ignition system produces high voltages that can be
fatal. Avoid contact with exposed terminals. Use ex-
treme caution when
working on a car with the ignition
switched on or the engine running.
CAUTION-
- Disconnecting the battery may erase fault code($ storedin
memory Check for fault codes prior to disconnecting the
battery cables. Read the battery disconnection cautions in
001 General Warnings and Cautions.
a Connect and disconnect the DME system wiring and
1 test equipment leads only when the ignition is switched
off.
Wait at least 1 minute after turning off the ignition be-
fore removing the engine control module (ECM) con-
nector. If the connector is removed before this time,
residualpower in the system relay may damage the
control module.
Fuel system cleaners and other chemical additives oth-
er than those specifically recommended by BMW may
damage the catalytic converter, the oxygen sensor or
other fuel supply components.
* Do not connect any test equipment that delivers a 12-
volt power supply to terminal 15 (+) of the ignition coil.
The current flow may damage the ECM. In general,
connect test equipment only as specified by BMW or
the equipment maker.
Only use a digital
multirneter for electrical tests. Only
use an LED test light for
quiclc tests.
