My touring (M50) dies when I accelarate not even past 5 mph. At idle it is a little rough, but I can rev it and the check engine light goes away when I rev; right when I let go of the gas, the check engine light flashes back on. What is it!? But if I put it in drive, I cant even get to 5mph; it dies right when I put my foot on the gas even slightly. I think it might be a vacuum problem? It was perfectly fine. After I replaced my bad alternator, the problem started right when I turned the car on.

i took the wiring off my icv this morning to see if it had any affect when driving and it drove like you describe. couldn't really hit the gas or anything, it would want to stall. i could just take off and get up 5mph. look into that maybe. im looking for the gremlin giving me too much fuel and sputtery shifting. good luck.sigpic

Grinil,
Unplug the MAF and see if its a metering problem. If it drives ok with the MAF unplugged the MAF is dead.
If it doesn't change, It could be your CPS is dying, (As it gets faster it cant keep up with the sensors)
You can also unplug the O2's to trace the problem being with mixture.
