+1 you have more immediate issues than fine tuning the static.
what do you mean? I have more engine related problems?
well i do have some oil in my intake manifold worst at cylinder closest the firewall

It did increase my power and quieten it down but I had already done a lot to the engine previously and have a dodgy FIP. Even though it was needed was one of the last things I did.
It has been hard started for over a year i think. Probably even two.
I fitted a hot start kit as a new owner. One of the first thing i did actually
But as @RangeRoller dt describes he had a lack of power and it was abit loud.
I have all that.
My car didnt vibrate at idle before when i got it. Then slowly, and slowly getting more, same with engine noise.
Sounds like a semitruck picking up speed, i guess people think there is a huge, huge engine inside the car because its that noisy, bur its just the little cute teddybear M51
But now as i changed the waterpump and thermostat i did take off the earth cable from the head.
As the coolant return pipe o ring leaked, i had to take the earth cable off, due to it being mounted on the return pipe bracket. I did however clean the connection on it.
I also noticed greenish color on both the negative, and positive cable. But this is normal for copper wires isnt it? to turn little greenish?
Hard to say without listening but I don't like the sound of that. I see you have oil in the intake manifold. I don't like the sound of that either.
I really don't like it either
I've heard of diesel runaways. Scary things.
I've flushed the intercooler with diesel. Also cleaned intake once past month.
Engine otherwise sounds healthy at idle! even another P38 owner said my engine were sounding smooth..
Way too high. Adjusting the FIP is easy with my method but can only be done if you have diagnostics, as you have Nanocom, no problem.this is at 90.3 degrees idle
Flushing the intercooler with diesel will do very little, use Acetone, leave it to soak over night. Make sure it's fully dried out before refitting preferably with an air line. You may be surprised at the amount of gunk that comes out.I really don't like it either

I'll PM you with details later. It's fairly precise, no hammers involved just a bit of dismantling.what was your method? I only seen Rangerollers method. Is it the same?
In my understanding there are several ways, a hammer way and a gauge precision way?
Thank you all for helping me, very appriciated
Each to their own, I prefer accuracyMy way uses hammers
Datatek was it you who did a post some time back about modulation at different temperatures? Did you make a chart and if so is it on this site to have a look at please.Each to their own, I prefer accuracy
