Help!

[1sttimebmwowner]

My car that I've had for three whole months now and had worked on many times over is now acting up again. Today when I started it up it sounded funny and drove funny. I think it is idleing funny and when I'm driving it, it shakes a bit. Now the service engine soon light is on again. What to do? I can't get into the dealership for a while, they are always so busy.

HELP ME please.

I'm sorry about your troubles. It sounds like you've got grimlins in your fuel line or you've purchased some bad gasoline. My first question is what octance fuel are you giving your bimmer? I've had all of the problems you describe with stalling and missing. I had to get an additive from my independent car dudes to get the crap and gunk out of my gas tank, fuel lines and restore the pleasure of driving to my life. I hope this points you the right direction. Happy Motoring...

I use the Premium gasoline from Shell, I believe that it is 93%.

93% octane.

What car is it? Year make and model. I'm thinking it's your ICV. Clean your ICV and you might be OK. Or maybe it's about that time where you need to change your spark plugs. Start with the little things before you go out and replce your fuel pump.

Good Luck.

From the Symptoms most likely it is coil problem. Same thing happened to me 3 months after I owned the car. If it is still under warranty, take it to the dealer. Good Luck!

I had my car in the shop and guess what? It was the ignition coil. My luck with this car is rotten, but I still love it !
