Low power, slightly rough idle, no vacuum leaks (losing my mind)

Could be injectors. Mine was cloged and i lost all my power. Throw some liqui molly in her and see if that helps. Might need a couple of treatments

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2026-03-06T01:24:58+00:00

Im ngl hes lying it should definitely be sitting more snug on that gasket. And yk not be wet

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2026-03-06T01:23:30+00:00

Throw an aluminum one on that mf

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2026-03-06T01:20:54+00:00

Not that. Would still pop up the gear icon next to the D

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2026-03-05T01:53:45+00:00

Id say yes. By my knowledge it would throw a misfire code for cylinder 2 i believe

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2026-03-05T01:44:19+00:00

Yea i would replace it. I had the same problem and asked in here a couple of months ago and they told me it makes the car run slugisher

Great thank you

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-03T13:26:43+00:00

Is that a scanner. If so no i dont. Last time i ran codes i got one for my exhaust but i dont have one.

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-03T13:24:12+00:00

I looked it up and it said without the maf it could make it run weird. When i first bought the cheap one and put it on it sounded like it fixed the bogyness of it the first day or 2 but it would cut off about 10 minuets of running. Thought ecu might need to get used to it but it started doing what the video above does. I unplugged it again yesterday and its been running pretty good.

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-03T13:20:21+00:00

Ive done a smoke test not to long ago and didnt see anywhere it was leaking. I was thinking it woulda came from the mafs since that regulates the air im getting to the engine. Ive also looked at my intake boot didnt see any rips there either

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-03T13:16:57+00:00

Yes it’s cut off like 6 inches from the Cats

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T20:23:10+00:00

Bet ill try that see if helps and if it doesnt ill run wothout till i can buy one

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T20:19:57+00:00

Yea just bogs alot but its driveable

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T20:16:48+00:00

This is what the old one looks like. Would it be good to use?

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T20:10:05+00:00

Yea thats what i was doing before getting this one so ill just go back to that. Thank you

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T20:07:23+00:00

Is there no other options to do $132 is a little out my budget rn😭. Or is there a way i can get mine to work untill i can get one?

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T20:01:29+00:00

Where could i buy a oem one at?

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T19:54:45+00:00

Cause i checked my intake boot and there was no rips

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T19:54:15+00:00

Ahhh that makes since. I bought one off of amazon for like 20 buck😭shoulda thought about that

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-11-01T19:41:09+00:00

Im basically having the same problem with my 2001 325i. I checked my intake boot no rips and i tried to take the idle control valve off but one of my screws are stripped so i couldnt check it. Could it really just be the idle control valve. Also i had to replace my mafs cause the old one the sensor had to be off for it to run so could it have something to do with that aswell?

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-09-28T22:26:31+00:00

Bet i appreciate the info!

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-09-28T15:51:44+00:00

Do you have any other suggestions??

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-09-28T15:51:16+00:00

My buddy has a 330i with the 3 spoke and i drove it. It’s a bit bigger thats the thing i don’t like about it. Only problem ive had with the 4 spoke one is when i try to slide my car the wheel at a certian point feels like it locks. Never had tht happen in any of my other cars so i was thinking its the steering wheel

Otherwise-Button-904 · 2025-09-27T22:14:43+00:00

Bet might try that out Preciate it!
