curryinahurry 39 Report post Posted September 1, 2016 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navin 180 Report post Posted September 1, 2016 Sounds fuel pump related to me. Possibly the relay or pump itself? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted September 1, 2016 yes second that , fuel pump dying or the relay that controls it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
