Re: Desprate need for help! Jerking 316i

Re: Desprate need for help! Jerking 316i

its seems fine in netural just under acceleration or cruising above 2000rpm. But now that you mention it ever since I got it in march when you first start it it revs ups and down for a few moments before it stablizers. What is the AFM, is there an easy way to test the fuel pump?
