Allo all,
Had my 1987 E30 318i auto for 4 months now and am trying to get to the bottom of some running problems. Its been converted to lpg but the problems were there before.
1. When going above 40ish it sometimes jolts, like a violent missfire. Ive replaced all the ignition system to rule this out. Also because ts been converted to gas I can rule out the fuel system as gas is a stand alone system and it still does it on this. Ive got a sneaky feeling it could be the auto box. The fluid level is fine and I even tried a treatment through it but it made no difference. Are these boxes a problem??
2. It seems gutless..I know its an old car with an old style auto box but it struggles with motorway speeds on anthing with a slight climb. When I got it it stalled alot which I found to be the airmass sticking shut. Ive replaced this witha second hand unit but its still flat as a wet fart. Also I only get 25mpg's....spoke to a bloke who had an identicle one and he said he gets 35mpg's.....the cars not a happy bunny.
Any ideas would be welcome, thanks in advance.
