Check the throttle body for carbon buildup or dirt, as this can affect idle stability. Cleaning the throttle body might help resolve the issue. Let me know if this makes any difference or if you have any further questions.
The throttle body was replaced with a new one. The problem is not caused by this.

Inspect the vacuum lines for any leaks or cracks, as vacuum leaks can cause erratic idle behavior. Pay special attention to the intake manifold gasket and any hoses connected to it. Let me know if you find anything unusual or if you have more questions.

Smoke tests were performed twice for leaks. No leaks were detected.

Consider checking the idle air control valve (IACV) for proper operation, as it regulates the engine's idle speed. A malfunctioning IACV can cause idle fluctuations. If you haven't already, cleaning or replacing it might help. Please update me on your findings or if you have further questions.

Hello, there is no idle air control valve (IACV) in my r56 n12 engine vehicle.

Check the engine's PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system for any blockages or malfunctions. A faulty PCV valve can cause idle issues. Ensure that the valve and related hoses are in good condition. Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions.

Since the engine was recently overhauled, the top cover gasket (and therefore the PCV valve) and PCV hoses were recently changed.

Inspect the mass airflow sensor (MAF) for any dirt or malfunction, as it plays a crucial role in managing the air-fuel mixture. Cleaning the MAF sensor with a dedicated cleaner might improve the idle stability. Please let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.

MAF sensor, oxygen sensors, camshaft position sensors, vanos solenoid valves were all replaced. Almost many sensors were renewed.
