Your Ride: 1985 325E
1985 325e stalling in hot weather
I have a 1985 325e that has done fine until recently. Now whenever the outside temp gauge reads about 110 I can only drive about 5-7 miles before its starts sputtering and eventually stalling. I can sit for about 5-10 min and drive another 2-3 miles before the process starts all over. I have tried with a full tank and 1/4 tank of gas. The engine itself is only only showing slightly hotter than in the winter. Any thoughts??
