hi, i have a e30 320i,
when i press the accelerator pedal just a little bit, nothing happens or sometimes the engine wants to stall.
i have to press the pedal further down to get a response...
i have replaced the spark plugs, but still the same..
any idea please?

I know this sounds silly but have you checked to see if your throttle cable is adjusted correctly ?
