I've got a '95 R33 GTS Type M with a big pipe, blitz BOV and a turbo timer, otherwise stock. Starts and idles fine when cold, as soon as it's warm it won't idle at all, stalls etc. I had a Honda Legend which started doing similar, and it turned out to be ignition leads- is this likely here?

It's only just been complied, and I think it sat for a fair while in Japan before being shipped. I've run one tank of PULP through it, half a tank with injector cleaner but with no improvement. Very occasionally it settles to idle, chugs a bit then idles properly, but not very often.

its either your blitz bov, air flow meter, coilpacls, sparkies

cause atmospheric bov ruin your idle. chuck a stock bov back on and see how u go.

or try electric contact cleaner on ur afm. or swap and try someones u know is working.

coilpacks, check if u got any hairline cracks on them

sparkies check if they need replacing or ur using the wrong heat range.

hope that helps

Thanks for that- it ran the same (or worse) without the BOV, and with standard exhaust and airbox as I took it up to register with all stock gear fitted- we thought it might have been a tuning issue as it should have been tuned to suit the high flow air filter, big exhaust etc but made no dirfference. I'm thinking plugs and/or leads, or contaminated fuel from sitting. If it was a fuel issue though I'd expect it to be the same at startup. It also lugs and farts on the timer, but usually keeps running until switchoff. Confusing.

i also have this problem.

i got a r33 gtst with a 3inch catback ex, FMIC, iridium plugs, K&N pannel filter, and a new o2 sensor. i thought it might be timming or the throttle position sensor.

any way im taking it to Mercury Motorsports to get a SAFCII installed and get my timming and tune done.

ill let u know how it goes once its done.

Aif

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
