Title: 1991 bmw 318ic staling and tach dropping
Post by: Jenkins0333 on March 05, 2020, 07:11:52 PM
This all started weeks ago when I had to replace my ignition lock cylinder. Car was running fine before this (drove from Texas to Georgia 2 weeks before)

Been through 2 CPS and my car still stalls randomly. After I put a new CPS in it starts and idles fine. I’ll be in 3rd gear and the tach will drop really low with no throttle response, then it will stall. Takes a few minutes to even start again it over after this happens. When I first started it, it turns over fine and it idles smooth.

My fuel pump buzzes nicely when running.

Any advice or personal experience?
