Re: cuttin out
I could be wrong, but my car was cutting out the other day, and it was a faulty fuel relay.
The chappy in the garage started the car, and then tapped the fuel relay with a screwdriver and the engne cut out. He replaced the relay and its been fine ever since!

Re: E30 316i cutting out
I did about 50 miles in the car this evening, and its definately having a problem somewhere along the line. I went to start it this evening about 10pm ( about the same time as last night?? ) and it was having trouble idling and would cut out unless the accelerator was used. After setting off, i got ...

Re: E30 316i cutting out

When i came to a stop at a junction however, and the revs dropped down, they dropped right down, about 400/500, before just managing returning to idle speed. Ive checked al...
