Ok, so 1997 M3. Recently had some issues with misfiring. Finally figured out it was my check valve not working anymore and was full of condensation and it and my secondary air pump had failed so I replaced them, and finally my check engine lights, idle/ acceleration returned to normal. Just to be safe I replaced the coils and spark plugs(NGK bkr6ek's, the copper two prong ones) and cleaned my MAF/ ICV. Everything is working great finally except...
Actually I had this problem before the others, but I assumed they were related and would go away with the problems and check engine lights, but they didn't. Anyways, it is only idling at about 650 RPM, which seems low slightly rough, like it should be better. Also, there is an intermittent slight clunk noise I also hear on idle that drives me crazy. It's totally random and doesn't even affect engine speed so I can't figure it out, seems to happen approximately every 30 seconds or so, sounds like a mix of a surge and a clunk, although it could be either, I'm not good at describing sounds. Also has no effect on acceleration at all.
I have no aftermarket amps/ headunit/ speakers or anything in the car, and my battery is only 1 year old. It may not even be electrical, but SUGGESTIONS PLEASE. I'm stumped here.
