E90 M3 Starter Replacement, Idle Control Valve E92 E93 BMW Repair DIY Throttle Actuator A0C1 A0B4

- Installing a new starter and cleaning the idle control valve for the BMW E92 M3. This DIY guide covers how to access the throttle actuators, remove intake plenum, ICV, and secondary air pump to get to the starter at the center of the V8 S65 engine. If your BMW M3 does not crank or has intermittent startup issues, it is most likely your starter solenoid causing the no start. Error codes I got were A0C1 output terminal 50 and A0B4.

My 2011 M3 E93 at 90k had a slow crank when warm that turned progressively into a no crank when warm. When cold it needed a jump start to start. The new starter motor was much faster. You are still helping people all over the world. 😊😅❤🎉
Exact same issue for us. Glad you were able to fix it. 🤜
Awesome video Sal!! Wow, I cant believe BMW would put the starter there?! All those wires and connections!!!! ARgghhhhh!!! lol
Yea! Lots of wires and connections, very fragile plastic, two connectors broke which I had to splice to fix them 😑
Great Work Mater Mechanic Sal! 😁🤍
Thank you Senpai!
Thanks Sal for the video. My Active Autowerke supercharged S65 at 106K is hunting for idle in between 2,000 and 2,500 RPMs and a CEL 2B0D Idle Actuator Monitoring, Bank 1. Throttle Actuators have less than 1,500 mi on them, so I am going to replace the ICV and Fuel Breather as no records have been found on those items being replaced.
That’s a good start. Good luck 👍
I’m getting the same code bank 1 did icv fix this? I’ve seen the vacuum pressure sensor can fix this same code on cold starts
@@benclement7569 the ICV didn't fix the idle. It ended up being the exhaust donut gasket, which according to sources say are a common failure point in the S65.
@@littleroller were you getting a code starting in P that would lead you to the exhaust side of the equation?
Thanks sal for the how to video. Now I got enough confidence to do the job my self
Anytime! Good luck 👍
Good job, clear and to the point..
Thanks for the comment! Glad to help 😊
Love the intro
Thanks man! I appreciate your time.
This video is so helpful too for ppl who will also do TAs. Anyway, I hope we can link up to do some car work someday. Keep the vids coming bro. Love this channel.
Looking forward to it too. Just hit me up whenever. Thanks for watching man. You’re right about the TAs. I changed the title to address TAs as well. Thanks for the idea.
Great video
Thanks 🙏
Well done
Thank you good sir 🙏
hello congratulations for the video you have simplified my work a lot. can I ask you which code of the new spare part you used? thank you.
Thanks for the comment! I used this starter: ebay.us/sPR4AX
Good instructions. When you replace the ICV, do you have to cleae any codes or anytbing like that?
I didn’t need to, unplug the battery before hand to be safe.
Will you recommend buying a 2017 Jaguar F-type since you owned one already , and if so what should I look out for before buying one ? Thanks
I highly recommend it, great weekend car. No major catastrophic issues, just minor ones that need attention. Check out my reliability video for problems I encountered during ownership: ua-cam.com/video/TioAKwpzyII/v-deo.html
Good luck 👍
Sal, Is the top bolt a T30 or a hex head? It looks like a hex head and some one on M3 forum said that bolt was a hex head. I don't want to strip that bolt which would be a night mare. Thanks
It was a T30 bolt for me. Good luck 👍
bro is it ok to clean idle actuators with a carb cleaner . ?? i am having slight idle issues with my E60 M5 i am changing tank ventilation vales (purge valves) soon , if it doesnt help ill clean or change the Idle Actuators
Yea it doesn’t hurt to try that before replacing it. Good luck 👍
I just completed the same task today, no error code or lights, i cleaned out the idle control valve too, 2 things have changed, idle is now at 800rpm and the shift lights have stopped working! Any ideas? 🤷♂️ thanks for your video it was helpful
No ideas yet. Might be time to get a detailed scan tool that can show hidden shadow codes.
Roughly how long did the job take? I have a similar issue on mine. Although on mine the starter turns but the solenoid hasnt moved across
3 hours first time, 2 hours the 2nd time I did it for a friend.
That's a lot of work. Hope mine doesn't go bad, car has around 117k.
I hope so too 🤞
Great video! At what mileage did yours go out?
Thanks! 115k miles.
@@Sals_Garage thank you. So I should hold off and not do it when I replace the actuators
@@z28fun it’s different for everyone. I’d say do it if you need to change the idle control valve.
did you have any problems before the starter went out ? Or it just went out without warning ?
Error code A0C1. Also the symptom in the beginning of the video.
The symptom looks the same as the video as I have on my UA-cam right ? I haven’t been able to scan it yet
@@benski9034 yep same symptoms.
this I what happens to mine but mine is the opposite I doesn't want to start when its cold but once started it doesn't happen.. I wonder what the problem is?
Most likely the starter is the problem. Try reading the error codes 👍
@@Sals_Garage oh ok thank you! But when I try to no codes pop up at all
awesome video! Sal you are such a professional bmw mechanic! can't wait to play this video now with my diet coke ready.
You’re the best Carl! Thanks for the kind comments and motivation to keep making content. Can’t wait to see ya soon!
👍🏼
Thanks bro 🙏
I only have an A0C1 code not the other. Hopefully, its not my CAS again. I just fixed it.
I hope you can fix it soon good luck 👍
@@Sals_Garage Fixed it. Pain in the ass. Now I have misfires. Spark plugs next.
@@BRNDNSLVRA you got this
Did you find out what was causing the A0C1 code again?
@@naterockwell7735 Starter
Not gonna lie the center of the V8 is not that bad … my ISF has the starter behind the passenger side exhaust manifold and some people have even taken the motor completely out to replace it lmao
That sounds rough 😆 I thought Lexus was supposed to be reliable 😆
Mine went out at 153k miles lol
Impressive 👍
Sounds like a job that I don’t wanna do :( ughhhhhhhhhh
It's not difficult actually. Just time consuming. Hope you give it a try, good luck!
@@Sals_Garage will it make it more, less , or the same difficulty with a ESS 550 Supercharger ? I garage my car for the winter so I will be replacing this, and I have the time … *I have worked on all my bmws I’m just being a baby*
@@jmkrom6972 it will be a little easier/quicker since removing the manifold looks simpler. The difficulty lies in removing the wiring harness and ICV. The bolts for the starter are also tricky as well.
You know the location of the starter made me think of the design of the N63 which was in my 550i GT...BMW used the so called HOT V design, the heat from the turbo contributes to the failure of the valve seals.
Good observation Carl! A lot of BMW engineering carries over to the next generation including faulty designs unfortunately.
Valeo? The Maserati factory clutch is made by valeo
Yea! It’s a Polish company. They are the OEM manufacturer for the starter.
is that your friend in the Porsche?
Just my neighbor’s friend. Haven’t met them yet but they do have a nice car.
