    1985 325E Falling on it face

    Got a 85 325E, Similar to the post below me but didnt want to confuse people and make 2 things in his post..

    Car has been running fine for the past few weeks, and now it just falls on its face when i give it gas and most of the time stall out. Then after a few times of it doing that i have to let it sit for a little while before it will start again.

    New 340lph pump, filter, lines...

    Any Ideas?

    What condition are your ignition parts in? Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and coil? Have you checked for vacuum problems? It sounds like it's getting a bit flooded, impeding spark. Does the exhaust smell rich? Simple tune-ups work wonders.

        I currently have the same issue, was working fine, even during the snow storm, ran great.

        I'm reading into a few things, I'm looking into a few things, AFM, TPS, thermo switch's, I'm on the same page.
