Weak idle
Ok, my 1993 BMW 325is 5spd with about 112,000 miles is acting odd. First, it has a weak idle. It is at about 600 rpms in park and the exhaust is making the odd sort of bubbling rumble. Also when I am driving it isn't pushing as hard as it used to. My fuel effenciency has also dropped because it is taking more to keep a steady 55mph. It is wierd, I started my car after school today and it felt normal. I turned off the car for about 10 minutes and when I started it "blub, blub, blub..." <---(the car). ARGH!!! WTF?! Sorry about that, but this is really annoying. Please somebody assist! Thanky!

Re: Weak idle
Yeah, the spark plugs was my first guess. Do you think that it my be the fuel injectors? Forgive me if I am way off, but I am new to cars! lol

Re: Weak idle
I would just add a fuel injector cleaner to the gas.. I wouldn't get into changing any of that yet..
