Thanks for the tip. I had a similar idle problem and it turned out to be the Intake Tube Elbow Throttle Housing Air Mass Sensor Boot. The idle problem cleared up temporarily when I sprayed it with carb cleaner.

For a lot of ppl, and also me, it does not close while putting contact on. However, you can try it another way. Look at the position the moving arm is while you put the contact, and start your car, after that go check back the position. If it moved, your disa is now close and i guess everything is fine, if it doesn't, then you got a problem. I precise : keep the disa inside, don't take it out like him to do that test. Also, you can ask someone so watch the moving arm while you start the car, its easier.

That's a very good and handy advice! Thank you!

Wow dude this is exactly what I need! I was doing the "finger test" and undecided on whether or not to switch. I will try this out.

Thanks. Helpful when the ultimate driving machine engineers stick a plastic valve and pin in the intake.

Actually it's the solenoid that's buzzing, there is no motor in the disa valve. The reason why it still operates is risidual vacuüm. The valve could have been much smaller than it actually is if it was only the mechanism for operating the valve. The rest of the valve body, the big rectangular box thing attached to the valve is actually a vacuüm reservoir that stores vacuüm from the intake manifold hence why the valve still works without the car running ;)

This comment should be pinned at the top, really. Testing your disa the way this video suggests, would work only if there is residual vacuum left inside the valve. If your disa cannot hold vacuum because the diaphragm is ripped, for example, this test will fail. I did my test after rebuilding my disa and at first panicked that it was broken because the flap didn't close. However, it didn't close because there was no residual vacuum in the valve's body.

Makes sense. I just rebuilt my DISA valve and it failed this test. I hope it‘s just the residual vacuum which is missing.

Excellent video.

He didn't talk about it in the video, but if the pin that the flap rotates on is loose, replace your DISA or get a repair kit from German Auto Solutions. If that pin falls into the motor, it can ruin the engine.

Good man. Helped me. Thx

Very informative kid keep it up

Graig, So what was causing the bad idle then?

good explanation you should do more video

Very helpful. Thanks.

Good video. Thanks.

This is with the canister charged with air. It won’t shut if there isn’t vacumm in the canister.

Nice video! Mine was holding vacuum, the motor was working but when I did that last test you showed the flap stayed in the open position

@craig did you ever figure out your rough idle issue? My M54 is tough idling and I'm about to check for Vacuum leaks.

Check the idle control valve. Make sure the valve can rotate freely and is not stuck in one position.

How did you remove it without removing the cabin air filter assembly and the bike booster shroud?

excellent

Does anyone know what the problem might be when the flap does not move when I turn the ignition on? I have a problem where my engine does not go over 1.200 RPM without cutting off. I checked the DISA valve and it was completely shot. The pin was falling out and the flap moved freely. I’ve ordered a new part and installed it but the problem is still there. Now the new disa valve won’t move when I turn on the ignition.

I did the hand test and it’s good. But when I did the key ignition it buzz but the flat doesn’t move so is mine disa bad or good? Everything hand test is good except the key ignition. The disa make a buzz sound while the key is on but the flat doesn’t move.

Interesting. Mine, and others on bimmerfest report no voltage doing it the way you are. Same engine but I believe yours is an e46 while mine and on the forum is an e39. May not apply voltage until started up (vs run position).

I just checked the DISA in my E39 m54 and discovered that the vacuum test works perfectly and there's 12V on plug but the flap doesn't move like yours after turn on ignition. I applied the 12V from accu directly to DISA and it works! Is there something wrong with power supply in my car?

I have p0171 and 174. its alot of rubber components that can be damaged that can cause that code after the MAF sensor. its worth taking it to a shop and paying $100 to be completely sure if you can.

This does not apply in all cases / regions and is very misleading. In some cases the unit does not move on ignition and it also requires vacuum to operate so your unit might not be faulty just because it does not move on this test
