Need help with my car

[AlpineMRacer]

Hey guys my 91 E30 M3 for some reason just started acting up. When I push the throttle it almost stalls out, and it takes like 2 or 3 sec. of the pedal to the floor to get it moving, and between shifts it looses all its rpm's so I have to rev it hard to keep speed. What is going on w/ my car. Thanks for all opinons.

Thats realy weird. Maybe check your throtle cable, or spark plugs?

might be something with the throttle body. I'd get that looked at. I know after a while dirt etc can build up and hamper the performance. It can be easily taken off and cleaned with a rag and an aerosol air can. I'd give that a try and if that dont work then its probably fuel related. But im almost certain its just a dirty throttle body. Good luck and keep us updated

What about fuel - how old is your fuel filter and how are your injectors?

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking fuel filter myself, because it happened all at once. I was pulling out onto a road and then it just wouldnt run right. I'm hoping its a clogged filter. Anyone know how to get to it???

It could be the fuel filter OR you could have a vaccuum leak. Check the larger pressin fitting that goes into the air box.

Cam shaft sensor. Had the exact same diagnostics.
