oscar90 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2010 cars a 96 540i with the 4.4 V8 On really hot days it drives perfectly then dies randomy. twice coming to a stop, once driving at low revs, no spluttering, just quietly dies, I think it may be a loose wire/plug/sensor due to it only happening when it gets really warm weather wise.. the wires get a chance to move more.. where would I look to check? Any other ideas or common issues to do with it? Idle sits on the idle line on the tach, looks to be 500ish RPM, would raising it temporarily help stop this at all.. just xmas is a hard enough time of the year without paying for the car to be fixed lol It will be going in for a scan due to it having a mechanical warranty, meaning im not able to mess around with it myself, so please dont tell me to scan it.. ill be doing it soon lol Thanks Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) I wonder if Sam (sammcj) would give it a scan for you. At least you'll then know what you need to save for. He's in CHCH Edited December 7, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
