i searched but i just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem.
car : 1991 318i
The car starts up and idles really low and dies unless I put the pedal to the floor. once the pedal is on the floor the revs climb but very very slowly. If I let off the gas the revs drop quickly then the car dies. If I try to move the car with it reved up high there is no power at all.
things i need to check?
vacuum leaks (checked but i think a double check is in order)
fuel pump + relay (if either was dead the car wouldnt start at all right?)
ICV ( no backfire, does that rule it out?)
AFM (dirty?)
plugs + wires (would it still start if those were bad?)
thanks in advance
