BMW 323 Injection

[Seth Allen]

The early  K-Jetronics have a slightly unstable idle, and you have a gray 
markett car if you are in the US.  Check all the ignition parts, and do a 
tune up, and check for vacuum leaks.  This is the same system that was on 
VW Rabbits.  People think that the FI messes things up, and start to 
fiddle. Usually the problem is a small maintenance issue. The basic idle 
setting is not elegant, but it works.
