See C2368 repair manual
  • Damaged camshaft position (CMP) sensor
  • Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve circuit poor electrical connection
  • Faulty oil control valve (OCV)

One example of this would be when an bmw automatic car in placed in gear. To prevent the added drag from the torque converter and transmission from reducing the idling speed, the PCM will command the idle control valve to allow more air to enter the engine, while at the same time, adjusting the injector pulse width to inject more fuel to suit the increased amount of air. Note that the idle air control valve is closed by the PCM when the throttle plate is opened to prevent excess air from entering the engine.
