E30 problems

[[email protected]]

Hi guys. I'm having trouble with my 325i E30. This happens when I'm driving. It loses power like it's gonna cut off. You remove your foot on the accelerator then it idles. Once you rev it, the car wants to die. Switch off the engine and start again, it does the same thing for maybe 4 times. Then it's back to normal. Drive 10km the process start all over again. What may be the cause?

Could be a faulty fuel pump or cam sensor

E30 Air Flow meter is stucking in position and not releasing

Common issues with that type of symptoms are:

Dodgy airflow meter- try swap out yours for a friends that's known to work.
Fouled plugs- just pull em and clean then and see if that helps
Weak spark
