BMW E36 Forum

Hi everyone Am new to this forum, I have 1994 BMW 318IS manufactured Jan/1994. I want to replace the idle control valve but i don't know which one it is the T shaped or the L shaped. Does anyone know? I am going to buy this online and I can't take it apart as I will be without a vehicle. Any suggestion how I find out will be helpful.

I would go to autohausaz.com or europarts.com to identify as they typically display the picture of what you are ordering, and a very accurate based on your year, model, engine as to which you would need.
