I feel a little stupid asking this as I'm usually well clued up on engine parts (having worked as a parts specialist for 10 years!) but on the M60 engine, any ideas where the air mass sensor is and what it looks like as I need to give it a clean and any ideas on how to and what to clean it with, also, is there anything to be careful of? I have the 4.0 V8 M60 engine Cheers Mike -------------

Have a look http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=HK42&mospid=47398&btnr=13_0384&hg=13&fg=15 - here . Part #1 is the MAF sensor, which could well do with a clean. The one I was talking about on the e28 is the same as #9 in that diagram, the idle speed control valve, which may well need a good clean as well, it sounds to me like that may be getting jammed. Hope this helps. ------------- 1987 BMW 525e Lux Auto (sadly deceased) http://www.getfirefox.com - Get Firefox - Ditch Hopeless Inertnet Exploder http://www.doive.co.uk - www.doive.co.uk

Will a good dousing of brake cleaner do it? -------------

I have used Wynnes Carb and Injector cleaner. Purple Spray can, blasts the muck away out of the Idle control valve. T'is about £4.40 a tin from Halfrauds.
