Idle control valve
 
I have a 1986 325. What I would like to know is if the idle control valve is adjustable. It appears to have a place where a screwdriver could fit. I had the valve replaced about two years ago. Now, like about two years ago, when the car idles it fluctuates.

I know nothing of the specifics of your IAC, (sorry) but fluctuating idle is often traced to a vacuum leak or a crack in an air tube that trips up the control of the IAC valve.

@Manolito

Thanks for the advice. I inspected the hoses and I believe I found the problem. I'm going to change it today and see if it fixes the problem.
