Hi all,
My 1998 318ti has developed a problem of appearing not to be firing on one of its cylinders. It drives fine for a while, then starts to misfire or loose power from what feels like a cylinder not firing.
It wont go away unless I turn the engine off and then on again. When I restart the engine, the problem goes away for a while, then comes back as before. I have also noticed that if I ease the accelerator on gently, it wont misfire but if I accelerate any harder than softly, thats when it starts.
What really throws me is the fact that the problem goes away if I restart the engine but always comes back after s short while.
Any ideas anyone before I take it into BMW?? Thanks.
