I have a recently purchased 95 318ti with auto. I have had a couple instances where car will start and immediately stall when the car is warm. It will restart and stall a few more times. When it catches, I usually gas it hard a few times and car settles into an idle. Seems like a classic vapor lock type problem but I see no posts on this conditions. Anyplace I should start looking?? Car is very well maintained. Just replaced thermostat, coolant, and did a complete tranny flush and filter change.
Thanks

I had a similar problem. It turned out to be a small vaccum leek. It was a very small hose on the front left (standing in front) of the engine bay.
