I am sure you mean 500 rpm, that is too low and when your AAV starts to close, it sure will stall. So you might want to adjust your idle a bit higher. Not sure but it might help.

Greg, I was planning to go there but I am presently in the Philippines and wont be back for at least 2 months. Hope you guys meet up there and have a nice time. Yeah, we had a good time last year alright, I think it was Woodley Park and the kids still have the tennis balls you gave them.

Greg, all you said is true and correct, unfortunately they were talking about the thermostat itself having a hole on top and not the thermostat HOUSING that has the bleeder bolt on top.

count me in too.

Been there done that, all that you guys did. obviously the block is out of the car so load it in the truck and get it to somebody with an air tool thats what i did and after a day of bending expensive tools and everything it only took 3 seconds for the pneumatic tool to loosen that bugger off.

The ICU when I opened it looks okay and I didnt notice anything like you described. What I had was really just a case of loose soldering verified by testing the continuity and as for the visual condition (resistor) there was totally nothing suspicious. There is a very high possibility there is ...

check your fuel filter it might be clogged. At first start the dirt or clog might not be compressed enough to block the passage way thus making it run for a while and die off as it gets pressure.

Hi if you come to decide and open up the ICM, you need to grind flat the 4 head of the sort of rivet on the front cover. and pry it open with a screw driver thru the side.

Just what Brian said, it might be the ignition control module. Try opening it and check the back of the board and see if there is/ are cracks on the soldering, this would be very visible if you look close. if there is/are cracks most often it is not properly connected as it should be. I would use a ...

Hi everybody, I am going to put back the cylinder head on my 528i, question is what 's the torque requirement and bolt sequence if any? I tried looking for it on the FAQ but didn't find any. Thanx in advance.

Thanks, just another question, I am not familiar with the blocks whether it be a B12 or B34, but does this mean that a 1981 528i engine block is different from the 1979 528i? I have both cars and i am trying to make one out of the two. I tried reading Mike W's FAQ and I want to really make sure ...

Okay thanx alot guys, I guess I have to wait for Odometergears to buzz in.

Hi guys , anybody know if a 1979 528i cylinder head fit directly to a 1981 year model 528i?

Thanks Pierre i will do it first thing tomorrow.

Hey guys,

I just read this thread and my car is a family member of Brian's, that is missing randomly. I tested the AFM grounding in my 81 528i and found out that it is not grounded to the body. For the sake of testing can I directly run a wire from the batt (-) to the AFM? I just want to make sure ...
