Is there a zoner near Middlesbrough who could lend me an air flow meter and possibly an ECU for 316i M40. As you can see from my previous thread I'm having a bit of a do with mine. Cheers.

You want to change the oil spray bar on top of the camshaft aswell. At least make sure the old one is spraying out of all the holes.

Iv'e just fitted the new CPS. It is no better.

I think I will set fire to it

Iv'e ordered a CPS from BMW. Ã‚£52!!! If that doesn't sort it, what else could it be. The car isn't worth a lot of money so I dont really want to spend much on it. I really appreciate your help, Thanks.

The two pins nearest the lead show an open circuit. Are these expensive, and can you get them from a motor factors? Lets hope this is the problem.

I have taken the CPS off. Is it a 3 pin plug at one end, about 2ft of stiff-ish wire and a small alluminium can at the other end? Is there any way of testing it? There is a small break in the plastic sheath close to the crankshaft end.

Is that the lead attached to no. 4 plug lead that goes to the front crank pulley?

Just fitted new dizzy cap and rotor arm. No improvment. Connected volt meter to fuse 11, the needle stayed steady when it was cutting out.

Is it a trip to the scrap yard!!!

The steering noise could be because the car is stood still. Try moving it back and forth while you are turning the wheel.

The shiney bit near the head says it has been loose for a while. The markings on the head says high tensile, so I'm thinking bell housing to engine. Top one are allways dirty, and it could have fallen out when you were de-frosting the car.

The tacho goes up and down but not off. The car is automatic so the engine won't keep the tacho pointer up when it is cutting out. The cut out is too clean (no chugging or sputtering) for it to be fuel related. I'll get some new HT leads and let you know how it goes. Thanks for now.

Could it be the high tension side of things?

I have just done about 20 miles round a round the park waiting for it to start missing. It must be the cold weather. Anyway, it started missing. I connected a volt meter to the coil (easier than a bulb) and the needle stayed steady at about 14 volts when the car was cutting out. I hope this is a goo...

Yes. It goes up and down as if the ignition is being turned off and on.

It's not the relay.

I forgot tomention the car is automatic. I don't know if this makes a difference. Is there any way of testing the DME relay or shorting the connectors to see if that is the problem. It is Sunday and nowhere is open to get any parts and I need the car in the morning. I live in Middlesbrough if anyone...

Thats great. I'll have a look in the a.m. Thanks everyone.

It's cutting out, not stuttering. Definatly electrical. Plugs are nice and gray, fuel consumpsion not brilliant, but acceptable. The temp thing sounds good. Where is it? Thanks all for the help.

Hello. I have a 316i with the most annoying fault. When the car is cold it is fine. When it warms up it cuts out for a second and kicks back in again over and over. It is as if the ignition is being turned off and on repeatedly. I have changed the fuel pump because it was noisey and the ignition coi...
