mathew Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 borrowed the old mans 2001 320 earlier and on numerous occasions it just cut out. he took it to a garage a few weeks back and they said it was a cam shaft sensor which apparently they had sorted but seems they havnt really. another problem i noticed is that it seemed under powered when i put my foot down. even in first gear i could floor it and there wasnt any sort of urgency only a slightly more noticeable poke when it reached the higher rev range. ive driven it a load of times so know what it feels like when running right. any ideas what this problem could be?

absz Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Its best to have a diagnostic test done on it first as there are a few components that can cause cutting out. my guess will be MAF sensor thou:sly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
