Re: E36 power fluctuates

Manny,
When my E30 started surging like you describe, it was
because some bonehead mechanic the previous owner used
started messing with the spring in the
(non-adjustable) air flow meter, making replacement of
the meter necessary ($290 for the part <ouch>). I hope
that the problem with your car isn't as insidious, but
it might be worth looking at. You can tell if the AFM
has been tampered with by checking to see if the cover
on it was re-glued. Good luck.
