 My '86 535I still cuts out while driving. Main relay has been replaced.
 While driving along, the engine will randomly cut out compleatly. If I 
 cycle the gas pedal fully a few times, ( floored, idle, floored )it will
 run again. It will do this 2 or 3 times in a row, then run fine for 100
 miles or so.
 I can't believe Im the only one to have these symptoms. The fact that it
 won't run again untill I floor it a few times, then it runs fine, has to
 be a dead givaway
 to the right person.
 Please help !
 Thanx

When my '86 535 did this, it turned out to be the idle control valve. It has 
never done it again since replacing it.
