I did a search for 318ti Idle Speed Control Valve and found this, I'm still looking through the results so here goes:

My 318ti ECU got wet with heavy rains, fuel pump wouldnt turn on, checked it was still good, worked, replaced the ECU, fed fuel to fuel lines, but doesnt turn over, rain shorted things out, something buzzing in the engine bay, I found it was the Idle Speed Control Valve - its buzzing after I try starting the car and taking the key out. So, will replacing this start my ti up?

I'm about to buy a valve and Im seriously trying to avoid a shop right now. Thanks guys.
