I picked up this 87 325e 5speed a few weeks ago and it's driving me mad.
History- After I picked it up I had the timing belt and water pump changed. After they did that the tech said that he test drove and noticed a missfire. When he pulled one of the injectors he noticed it was clogged and looked like rust was in the gas. He replaced one plug, the fuel filter and sent all of the injectors out to be cleaned and rebuilt. The car ran fine for the little bit that I drove it in the last two days.
Current problem- I started the car up and drove to the store fine with no issues. On the way home as I was driving the car started to bog out around 2,500 rpm. It happens through out all of the gears. Feels like as once it hits 2500 rpm it's not getting any fuel at all. I limped home like that and with the car in neutral it revs up to red line. Why would it rev high in neutral but not go past 2,500 in gear? Could it be an air leak? Possible the fuel pump?
I've done searches and have seen people with the same issue but can't find any solutions in any of the posts. Please help if you can. I love this car and just want to drive it which I haven't been able to do since I've bought it. Thanks.
