Hey all,
I have a 95 525 with 198,xxx miles on it. I bought the car back in March with about 177,000 on the clock. Over the past few months I've had some odd drivability issues.
I have experienced intermittent acceleration hesitation. What will happen is when accelerating sometimes the car will obviously kind of bog down and the CEL will come on then it will work itself out and accelerate normally from there.
Also, I've been noticing my CEL seems to come on when I accelerate and often when I let off the gas it will go off right away. The CEL other times will come on randomly but I've noticed a pattern with it appearing with gassing and letting off the gas. It almost seems like there is some kind of fuel problem or something with an injector or filter I really don't know. Also sometimes when the engine bogs down I've heard a metallic sounding noise coming from what seems to be around the accelerator or somewhere down around there. I've already replaced all the ignition coils and spark plugs. Only run premium ethanol free fuel.
The car has been well maintained throughout its life. The previous owner recently replaced the head and coolant system and the car has never missed an oil change or anything throughout its life. Most of the time it drives fantastic but whatever this drivability issue is it seems to be worse when the car is warm after driving for quite a while. Sometimes the car is fine and doesn't act up much sometimes when driving it just feels like there is a lack of power. Any ideas as to what I should do would be awesome because it seems like no matter who I bring it to look at no one really cares or is willing to take the time to figure it out. So maybe a starting point or suggestion as to what you think this could be would really be appreciated very much.
Thanks!!!!!!
Had check engine light read and it apparently came up as a misfire.
