i have a 1987 325e and i just strarted having a problem with the car sputtering between 1000rpms and 2300rpms and then after that it stops but there is a loss in power. I just changed the spark plugs and the wires. It seems like a problem with the injection not the spark. If anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks much

Did this mis-fire start after you changed the plugs? if so double check the plug gap.

it was doing it be for the plugs i was thinking maybe it was the fuel filter or the o2 sensor would either of these cause this?
