Is only when you have important guest or your are alone then the problem will surfaced.

As i have already said that we will solve the problem one by one starting from your aircon.
Your aircon might be working on and off but restart again then no problem.
This is due to the key switch wire. Have you replaced that already?
I have explained that the switch might be causing a low voltage to the uniQ that it cannot work efficiently. It needs only a 12 volt supply as everybody knows. But i will needs at least a 15amp or more to work as the crank signal have been cut.
But when you off and restart again the problem will go off, right?

Since after the 2nd tuning the problem still arises if you r not comfortable with it then i think the best solution is to take the uniQ out and a full refund back to you. If the car still have the problem after the uniQ is out then......... It will be a wear and tear problem or maybe my luck to have install the chip on that day.

My conclusion is definitely a power supply issue.
The wiring have been dated since 1994.

Joe

Thanks Joe for the feedback. I dont mind replacing a part or two of my car to suit your uniQ but please do understand not to expect me to replace many parts just so my car can ngam ngam with your chip. I will follow your instructions and change the key wire switch at BVO within this week. You have been a VERY helpful fella but maybe just maybe my car just bei ngam with your chip. If the problem still persist,I will have to follow your solution and ask for a full refund. Thank you.

Susu,
Please let me know how much is the key switch wire for my Bimmer. Thank you.

Technically, the Q Unichip shld not cause any problem to ur car unless the parts in ur ride already going "up the lorry" soon. I intro my friend a E36 318iA to install the chip, now a happier man & his ride swee swee... maybe his car got most of the parts replaced. It works perfectly for all E36 & cannot be urs sway sway. Even if u change some of the parts & the problem remains, u shld try another Unichip but i still believe cannot be the chip that cause the ur problem. E36 need more care than just putting a Unichip & thinking it will fly.

Btw Unichip does not make a E36 faster than E46 but it gives a better & smooth power transmission into redline. So dun try beat the E46, like Jeff the old man's slow E46 or handsome playboy herman di di E46 or sexy doctor Roasty E46..

Disclaimer : I am not related to China Milk nor Propel or JOE. I am just a Unichip user.

Hi Roger,

I think you have mistaken me or my words, i have experienced your car problem before even when the car is STOCK.

When i drove your car for tuning, i do not have the aircon problem until the 2nd tuning then when you ask me whether i feel HOT or WARM.

During then you told me that you have send over to check on this problem and none can solve, right? What i wanted was to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Because the aircon issue is the key switch wire and from there the supply of current to the ecu might also be not enough. Voltage definitely enough.
As explained in the earlier..........the recommended wiring is dated 1994.

And you are right that UNICHIPQ or maybe piggybag does not go well with your ride & to replace many parts to ngam unichip is not the way.
As i'm dealing with used parts so i will know more............. becoz these parts are usually the mechanic replaced for owners when this problem arises.
** Note : NO mechanic will be able to PIN-POINT some of the problems caused too. The oni way is to start with the cheapest way to troubleshoot the problem...

If you are ain't keen in doing this then it will be very fine for me to refund you and will make an appointment with milk next week.

Joe

No worries. Thanks again Joe. I sincerely am sorry for my car but I have replaced many many wear and tear parts contrary to what iscoupe may say. I have the records from BVO and ES to prove it so I would appreciate it if someone who dont know all the facts just keep his opinion to himself. His tappet is even more noisy than mine ah. What a guy! Heh

Anyway, I will follow your instruction to replace the key switch wire by this week. If problem persists by next week, I will follow your solution. The uniQ is good. When the choking is not there, the throttle response is fantastic according to your tuning. I had not the chance to test for higher top speed in SG and I dont think I wanna test it here. Scared of mata mah. However, definitely have a chance this month since I am heading north soon but again this depends on how the chip works out by next week. Cheers!

The Key Switch Wire = S$30........
BUT i'm not gonna sell it to you........ let me T-LOAN it to you 1st to try as i do not want to be accused of making you change a lot of parts to ngam the UniQ.....
As JOE had said... this MIGHT be the problem.... and IF after changing it... it solved the problem... then you pay me the S$30 + 7% GST.... IF it's still the same, do return it back to me & i'll get JOE to take out the UniQ + FULL REFUND back to you..... swee boh????

Anyway...... I think iScoupe is also trying to give u suggestions to help you solved your problem...
As till dtd 2day, even those old timers who used to drive E36 318i..(i myself is 1 of them which had Obit on my E36 318is -SBW 8641) or those recently that installed on their E36 318iA (1 of them is iScoupe's friend "Alvin") which had gotten my tuner to install Obit or Unichip.... we had not encountered the problems that you mentioned.
Dun worry........ my tuner will not anyhow KAN customers....
