    Runs weird

    I guess you could say.

    Today after leaving a wrecking yard i was at a stop light and i had my clutch in and the car was in 1st gear and it stalled i was like okay this is weird start it up again and stalls again now this getting a bit annoying and kind of weird so this time i started the car and revved it up a little past 1k and put it into 1st as soon as the light turned green and i pulled into the nearest parking spot to take a look at it and everything under the hood seems fine.

    What is the problem?

    I need the car back up and running by monday which really sucks.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am thinking differential but again i could be wrong. Also i let the car run for about 10-15 minutes in a parking spot and it never stalled, on my way home everything seemed fine except at one or two stop lights it wanted to stall no this is not my driving as i mentioned before my clutch was all the way in.

    I am going to say checking your intake boot for cracks would be a good start. Also, most E30's run better with the stock airbox on them. I have the cut off bottom of the airbox mod. And last but not least, check for porrible vacuum leaks.

      Thanks for suggestion Matt. The intake boot is fine and maybe it is the air intake but im not sure. I drove around for an hour just now and it hasnt acted up yet so i am unsure of what the cars problem is.
