    Bmw e36 low power when hot.

    When it is really hot outside the car starts to run slow in lower rpms. My vanos is really loud and needs to be changed, could it be when its hot out the oil gets thin and the vanos dosent work like its supposed to??? and ideas. thanks

    If you have an aftermarket intake, it could just be heat soak

    probably heat soaking I accidently removed the intake hose for my air box so it sucks air right of the bay, and I've noticed a lack of power from it.
    I like my car.
