    HELP!!

    I was driving home from the gas station today after filling up the e30, and something strange and rather scary happened to me. As I pulled away from the stop light the car went fine through 1st gear, then when I hit 2nd it wasfine, then randomly dropped down to 0 rpm's as I was driving, then suddenly sprung back up to about 4. The result of this was me basically spinning out and drifting across a 3 way intersection with no no control over the cars throttle for seconds. After this happened, I proceeded to pull over, cut the car off, and push it about 1/4 of a mile back home.

    If anyone could give me some input about what might be wrong, that would be great. My first suspicion is the transmission, even though it was replaced recently.

    looks like I'm going to be spending more money fixing the car, rather than modifying it as I had planned :(

      I know your pain. Not on my E30 but on past cars. Which E30 do you have? Good luck, hope you get it fixed soon.

        I have an 88 325is.

        It looks like it may have just been a vacuum leak. I went through and sealed a leak up and now its running much nicer. I'm still going to get it checked out though.
