RE: [bmw] 85 528e Hesitation while driving.

Check the In-Tank fuel pump first - you can easily access it form the round
access panel in the trunk.
Other things to look at: - Fuel pressure regulator, possible vacuum leak,
coolant temp sensor.

Hope this helps.

P.S. email me if it is the in tank fuel transfer pump - I'll send you a
replacement pump part number and the procedure for replacing it - about $60
Cdn rather that over $300 Cdn.

Hi all,
 I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. My 85 528e
while driving will all of a sudden no longer react to acceleration. She
never actually stalls but it will hesitate either when I accelerate or
just while keeping at a constant speed. I have changed in the last day
to try and fix this problem the fuel filter, spark plugs and o2 sensor
to no avail. My neighbor who owns a 69 Mercedes said he had the same
problem and it was his fuel pump. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
