Re: 1990 525i hesitation slight rough idle and check engine

Ticking sound is probably valves. Thats normal.

Have you changed the air mass meter? It's expensive and probably has not been changed before you got it.

What all have you checked/changed?

Throttle Position switch comes to mind also.

Regards

Bill
