i know it isn't a bmw, but it is car related and the same rules will apply...
my roommate has a '94 jeep cherokee and it has been acting somewhat intermittent for a few days now. Personally, i think the fuel pump is dying, but i'm not 100% sure.
We took out the old fuel filter and replaced it with a new one. I was emptying out the old fuel filter into a glass, and it was dirty as hell. There was alot of black particles. Once it was empty (the filter), i could shake it around and feel the black stuff sloshing around inside.
When you start it, sometimes it will crank and never start.... once in a great while, it will crank over and run for 15 seconds then start sputtering and eventually die. If you have the car running, and you hit 50% throttle suddenly, it will just sputter. If you gradually push it to 50% throttle, it may work....
what do you guys think?
