darkhorse your a source of unlimited knowledge haha. thank you sincerely.

i figure i shorted the temp sending unit and now i need to replace the temp gauge sending unit. what input voltage does it hook up too???<<<what is that refering too

also on a different note... does the idle control module have an ignition supply control??
cause im still trying to get the car to idle. and i have boght a new valve and a new module... well not new both were used on ebay but nothing has change.
the idle control valve does not even hum yet!! with any of the "new" parts on/.
im pretty much gonna give up cause my patience is running low... and i have no explanation to why its still not working. thats why im thinking its got to be something else in relation too idle or my temp gauge not working. ALL this going back to the shorts from jumping the wrong diagnostic pins!!! haha im having a breakdown about it.

oh well the car being not used has made me realize and appreciate the five series all over again. im debating whether to clean it up and service it or just part with it for 1500.00

so im taking it to my mechanic and just have him work it out on the idle and get a tune up while im at it. valves need to be adjusted. plus couple other things might as well do them now in conjuction with idle problem.

im dissapointed that i could not fully complete the repair. at this point it has only cost me 50 dollars on parts that may work or may not work!! I still dont truly know.

thanks again, ill be happy when its back on the road AGAIN!!
