Where is the idle control valve 1999 BMW 318i m43 engine?

The idle control valve (ICV) on a 1999 BMW 318i with the M43 engine is located on the intake manifold, near the throttle body.

Here's a more precise guide:

1. Open the hood.

2. Locate the throttle body. It's a large, black, rectangular component on the intake manifold, with a cable attached to it.

3. The ICV is a small, cylindrical component with a single electrical connector. It's usually located directly below the throttle body, on the intake manifold.

Note:

* It's important to identify the correct component. There are other similar-looking components near the throttle body, so be sure to verify that you're looking at the ICV.

* A quick visual inspection can help you identify the ICV. Look for a small, round, metallic component with a single electrical connector.

If you're still unsure about its location, it's best to consult your vehicle's repair manual or a qualified mechanic.
