Rough idle and no power when pressing acceleration..?

[E30M3EVO]

Guys,

This morning took the 325i sport (m20 engine) for a drive and just 2 mins into the drive the car lost acceleration. Pushed it back to the driveway.

Symptons

Car starts fine, but rough idle and no acceleration when you press the acceleration. Cable is fine.

I have checked the basics oil, coolant, petrol.

What could be the issue?

All help appreciated

Thanks

Check that the large convoluted hose between the air meter and the throttle body hasn't split.

Thanks, just checked the pipe and that's ok. Could it be the distributor cap ??

Anyone else come across this situation

Hello e30m3evo,
had similar thing once in 318, afm flap was catching and wouldn't open, was due to build up of rubbish inside, cheers.
