diff mounts ? maybe sparkplugs ?

[325_driver 422]

hey guys

ive taken the bimmer off the road for a bit

and its back

ive got a 325i e30 not that it will assist.

some of you guys might have had this problem.

its now back on the road

and when i put the foot to the floor, mainly in first it no longer smoothly accelerates.

i can smoothly slowly accelerate

but if im going 10 - 20 kmh in first gear and put the foot to the floor the car starts doing a major bunny hop you could say

or if you try and do a burn out and drop the clutch it will get traction and then bunny hop.

have a new fuel filter

dont think its the fuel pump since no other gears have this effect

dont know why it could be the spark plugs since their fairly new

a mate of mine said it sounds like it could be the diff mounts or some thing ?

any of you know what im talking bout

or can assist ?

any thing would be good

thanks

check the engine and gearbox mounts are fine...if your doing burnouts it really doesnt help them. if they arent, they are probably sending the fan into the radiator

i was only trying to light up the wheels trying to see what was up with the engine.

a while ago i had a prang into a wall

it cut the oil cooler in half and sent the radiator into the fan

no major damage.

could that be the problem when the car launches foward the fan goes in the the radiator slowing the crank down or some thing ?

you got a number i could quickly ring you on ?

I'd check the rubber donut at the front of the driveshaft and the centre hanger as well.

any other ideas before i send it into steve at sherson autos?

So are we talking misfire here? Or does the engine work fine?

Check ignition, fuel, AFM and report back.

lol, no major damage? Your fan hitting the radiator doesn't affect the crank but does prevent proper cooling. If your engine/gbox/diff mounts are split then you'll want to replace those asap, not cool hitting 6000rpm and hearing and feeling strange stuff.

ill try and explain exactly what it does and where the problem lies

if its not in gear i can accelerate fine, no engine missfires, and engine temp is very normal

if i launch the car foward at a low speed to quickly it will put its self into a major bunny hop

so from second gear i can plant my foot no problems cause im going at a reasonable speed

but there seems to be a problem launching the car foward?

if that makes anymore sense?

any more clues on whats going on?

does any of this sound familiar?

any help would be good

cause im sure its probably some thing stupid
