    Strange stalling issue

    Car is a 1991 318i. Approx 142k miles on it, 5 speed.

    After starting, car will idle ok, but as soon as you push on the throttle, she sputters and dies. If I LIGHTLY press the throttle, and push slowly, I can get the engine all the way up to redline, holding it anywhere in between. Any faster input to the throttle and she sputters and stalls.

    Changed DME, AFM/MAF, and TPS.

    What's next?

    This is how it works; you buy my junk, then I will buy more junk and so on so forth etc. etc. Think of the future of your children and buy my stuff.

        What's the best way to check fuel pressure on an m42? Sprayed down for vacuum lekas couldn't find any

        EDIT: Swapped the fuel pump(was louder than it should be) with fuel pump from 91 325ic - car runs perfect now :)

              in what way????? Never heard such a thing.. Please provide facts, as the statement makes no sense. One can purchase an aftermarket Walbro fuel pump that is NOT manufacturer/make/model specific and install this same pump in either a standard coupe, sedan or convertible with no adverse issues - and the install/wiring is the SAME on all 3 models...
