ICV - Idle Control Valve
We've discussed it several times, try to find it. I dont have time at the moment to explain or look it up but if you cant find it yourself reply here and I'll try to help later.

I managed to do my E36M3 without removing the intake manifold. I gave a long reair description on the M3 forum on this board.
I dont have any other suggestions. Here it is: Rough idle at startup Read the problem descriptions to see if they are similar to yours.
