After changing the head gasket on my '85 318i, its runs sweet at idle and light throttle but under load it cuts out at about 3000 rpm. The revs then drop until it gets to around 1200 rpm then kicks away again. Will run non stop under light throttle.
Had injectors cleaned while out, changed fuel filter. Looked at the in-tank unit but it appears to be only a float/sender - i can't see a pump module in there.
I don't have a fuel injection tester so may just swap out the external pump/fpr to see what happens.
Am i right going down the fuel pressure route? any suggestions?
Car has new water pump, air filter, cap, rotor, etc. This fault did not exist before the HG change so maybe it did something........
