It's been an issue for a while now. It started about a year ago and I was able to fix it with new plugs and injectors. Here's the deal. It started again a few months ago and I changed the plugs but not the injectors. The misfire is happening on the same cylinder as last year. What are the chances that its another injector.
Plus I never thought it was an injector to begin with. It happens under very light throttle application and usually when a small load kicks in, like going up a hill on the highway or starting the car from a stop. Usually the CPU picks it up and cuts off the cylinder but it can be avoided if I react quick enough and give it extra throttle. If it happens on the highway it's always at cruising speeds and at low rpm (under 3k).
Yes there's a turbo on my car whick might complicate this, but I don' think that it's related to it because it has nothing to do with boosting. SO I thought I would ask the general E36 forum. Granted it could have something to do with the tune of the DME but i find it unlikely since I havent had the problem before. I've had the turbo for some time now.
So, does the problem sound familiar to anyone? Can anyone help me out?
