When was the last time you changed the fuel filter, I was having some problems last summer and a new fuel filter seemed to do the trick. MTP3 don't bash the 318 or i will bash you!

heh dont think so.


M42 ftmfw. its still more fun tto drive then my 330. Dont know what it is about that car/engine...you must drive one to understand.


i changed my fuel filter 20k back. You think a new one is necessary already?

Checked hoses, will go back and check again. But i have to postpone for another few days. Work is working me hard.


im gonna guess its the fuel, since it was sitting for a while? Ill start with that

so i figured it out, checked the thorttle position sensor, turns out it was bad. Tested it with a multi meter, wasnt changing voltage as i turned the thorttle(the manual said to test it this way.) so it is bad.
