Mi_318is

Hey,

I have a E36 318is 1994 and recently it has started to develop a problem when starting warm. The car starts fine during cold starts, but when warm, the revs jump, and it has just started stalling. It also starts to have a black smoke, and runs really rich. After about 15-30 seconds this stops, and engine runs fine! I have cleaned the ICV etc and no hoses appear to be cracked. Any one else experience this problem???

I've had a thorough search on the net, havent found much apart from the ICV.

Thanks for any advice in advance!

Hey I have a 318is E36, and needs some work done to it. Any way i jacked up the rear today, and notice that the drivers side shock bar is exposed while jacked up, looks like the rubber boot has disintegrated that attaches to the body. Any ideas what needs replacing, is it the actual shock or like a "strut mate - boot kit?
