Hello mate.... On my 1986 e30 325i I stupidly turned the little screw on the throttle body housing located under throttle spring mechanism but on top of housing becos I thought was idle adjustment..derrr... Anyway Ive been told the little screw is related to the mixture and now the car is sorted I think its running way to rich because getting oil in the large black tube thats attached to throttle body housing. Can you advise on resetting the little screw?
If screwed down all the way how many turns up do you think? Any advice will help...Thanks __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: |

The little screw is not related to the mixture directly. I suspect you adjusted the throttle stop screw. This screw prevents the throttle butterfly from moving too far back in the throttle bore and binding. It should have possibly an 8 or 10mm lock nut on it. Is that the one? If it is losen the lock nut and back the screw out till it no longer touches the throttle linkage. Turn the screw inward until it barely touches the throttle linkage, then add another 1/4 to 1/2 turn and tighten the lock nut. You may have to check your throttle position sensor or switch adjustment when you are done.
