I have an '82 528e that I have been wrestling with for several weeks now and
am in need of ideas. I presently have the car at a very reputable BMW repair
only shop in Augusta, GA and they are also stumped.
The symptoms: Starts fine, idles fine, runs great up to 2000 rpm, then cuts
out and has basically no power. Gas mileage is awful.
What we have examined so far: Fuel pressure and flow rate - OK. Coil, plugs,
wires, condensor, rotor - Checked all OK. Air mass flow meter - put in good
one to test - No improvement. Motronic brain - put in a good one to test - no
improvement. Fuel injectors - put in good ones to try - no improvement.
Vacuum leaks - None. Catalytic convertor - checked but not stopped up. O2
sensor - Checked OK. Speed sensor and TDC sensor - checked OK, but could be
going bad at higher rpm; will replace next and then try. Throttle switch -
checked OK.
HELP! What else could be the problem? I have pretty much run out of options.
