Rough running M40

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

1990 E30 318i Auto.

start the car up cold and drive it runs fine. stop the car, turn it off, turn it on again won't idle for a while, then after driving it for about 5 mins or taking it down the MW it will idle. im at a loss as i have never had this sorta thing before.

Also, in the centre of the roof just infront of the rear view, is the warning panel. when you start the car it comes up with OVERHEAT but nothing else. is this the only warning light on it? how can i test it?

Cheers

haha yeah should've been clearer, the main problem is the rough idling. but the warning panel... i just wanna know if OVERHEAT is normally the only warning light that shows up when you first turn the car on. it goes out after 2 secs.
