    325e won't accelerate

    I have an '88 325e. The temps here in SC got up into the 80s today. My car seems to hate heat. When I was on the interstate coming home from school, my car would not accelerate. I pulled off to the side, turned it off and back on, and she drove away fine for a little bit then started acting up again. I pulled off in the Bloom parking lot, let her sit for a few minutes, then limped her home. Can anyone help diagnose what this could be? TIA

    whats exactly happening when you give it gas? does it rev and you don't accelerate or it just bogs down?

        I've totally forgotten to re-plug in my AFM and that caused all kinds of power issues for the few miles I was driving before checking it out. There's a pretty easy test if you have a multimeter (if you don't harbor freight had a coupon for a free one). check this link out for some handy info < http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90205 >

            Manual. It's actually my girlfriends car. I'm going to try to drive it this weekend so I can get a better idea of exactly what is going on.
