Gutless M40
Posted: Wed May 11, 2005 10:39 pm
Looking for advice for my M40 316i.When I put my foot down there is no power!It runs really well,is fantastic on petrol,it ticks over at a steady 700ish revs and revs reasonably well when standing still.
The problem comes when driving it.Put it in first,clutch out,throttle down and it just goes really flat,struggling to rev!Anyway carry on trying to accelerate,then when it reaches about 3000rpm,its as if someone has flicked a switch and it all of a sudden kicks into life,but then its time to change up a gear and the whole process is repeated.
I have changed the inlet manifold gaskets,air flow meter and hose between AFM and TB,but none have made a difference!
Im thinking its probably a sensor,but?
I have checked the obvious,Air leaks etc,but without putting it on a diagnostic machine,it got me!
Please help guys!Got to drive from Devon to London in it next week,and dont fancy it right now!
