E30 Randomly Cutting Out - M20B25

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I've been having some issues with my 89 325i randomly cutting out.

The car would drive fine and all of a sudden the gas pedal stops responding and the engine gradually slows down to a stall.  Sometimes the engine would start right up again and drive as if nothings happened, other times it won't start (it cranks fine) and you'll have to wait for 5-10 minutes before it'll start up again.

I've now replaced the spark plugs, distributor cap and petrol filter but the problem hasn't gone away.

I'm now suspecting maybe the crank sensor is failing? but I'm not confident because the tachometer still reads accurately as the engine cuts off.

Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions!

Cheers,

Andrew
