NZ00Z3 187 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 Hi Car: E46 323Ci, manual, 160,000 km Problem: When changing gears, especially 1st to 2nd, the rev's hang at around 1,800 rpm for about a second then drop as they should. Work already done: replaced ICV and cleaned the throttle body Any suggestions on what to look at next? Regrads Murray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adjusted it out and the problem seems to be fixed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
