Hello, this is my first post. I have managed to find just about all the answers to all of the other fun problems in prior threads but im coming up short on my current issue. I drive a 1987 325e sedan with a March birthday.
Heres the deal, this started maybe 3 months ago I noticed a loss of power during acceleration it feels more like when you are learning to drive a manual and haven't quite nailed down your clutch to gas rhythm. The car is kind of sputters acts as if its going to stall out then acts as if nothing is wrong, there is also no real rhyme or reason to it whether the engine is hot or cold, if the temperature outside is hot, cold, dry, or wet. Sometimes ill have a month where it wont happen or a day where it acts up every time I accelerate. Only twice has this sputtering killed the engine while driving and in gear, i was able to turn the key and fire it right back up as if nothing had happened. Now the 3rd time was the charm, I was of course in 3rd gear it sputtered and died, this time it will not fire back up. If i turn the key It turns over it has spark and fuel it just wont start. I can hear the fuel pump going, I replaced the crankshaft sensor today with no avail. am at the point where I think it might be a ground???? Im stumped any hints as to what going on would be much appreciated.
