well here is background info
- '86 325e
-stock motor
-recently did seafoam treatment fuel and crankcase only (not vaccum line yet)
Before I did the treatment I would get an extremely hard jerking and sputtering from the engine when I gave it more the 35% throttle. I have even gone as far as to sit parked and rev the motor. Intermittently at times it will stall or rpms will drop considerably when I give it more then 35% throttle. This occurs from idle to redline.
I have checked for vacuum leaks by using carb cleaner and nothing is amiss. Tomorrow I will change out the spark plugs and cap n' rotor. I'm feeling it could be a spark issue although at times the motor behaves perfect. I will go ahead and change out the fuel filter as well. I highly doubt it is a fuel feed issue though.
Could anyone point me to possible areas of concern. Thanks.
