1991 318is rough start

Hello,

Question for the group. I have a 1991 318is that starts rough when it is hot or cold. After a minute or two of running it smoothes out and runs great. Any ideas? I have replaced plugs, wires.

All help is appreciated!

Thanks
Matt

Does it coincide with the secondary air pump running? My 97 M3 does that but I haven't seen a fix yet.

hmm...good question, I am not sure actually. I didn't know there was a secondary air pump on the car.
