sorry tom, having a little trouble getting the
whole message through. yes last year the stumble
was intermintent any rpm or load. water in the
bottom of tank and lots of stuff in the filter,
hoses needed new too.it ran great untill other
stuff. i posted up page a new message same stuff
good luck

Did your problem last year happen at all rpms?

Car sat for 7 days whilst I was sunning myself in FLA. I drove it to work Th & F(5 miles, too many lights to make prob happen, I think) and then on highway Sat. when it started to buck.


that happens @2000rpm.i had your symptoms last year and drained the tank and new filter cleared it
up did.nt work for me this time i think mine is
much deeper. good luck bsandy 84 533i
Folks, My 84 528e just started bucking intermittently on the highway yesterday. I checked the archieves and the fuel pressure regulator and pump issues didn't seem to match my probs and I'm stumped.

Starts great. Idles fine. Has power. Outside temp ~ 40 degrees f, no rain.

Bucking occures at all speeds, cruise or no-cruise and all fuel tank levels.

Just one or two (maybe three) bucks, then runs fine for 5 mins, then another buck or two, then 10 mins more, etc.

I could duplicate the bucking by tapping/punching the accelerator and quickly letting off.

Seems like a split second loss of fuel.

Any takers?

Thanks in advance
