E39 525 2001 dies upon start intermittently
Hi,
This is the first time I'm posting a question here and english is not my native language, so please beare with me. I have a 2001, 525i which has been working flawlessly up until now. Recently I've started to experience the following problem. Sometimes when I start the engine, whenever I try to press the gas pedal it dies. If I on the other hand just leave it running on idle, there seems to be a slight variation in the RPM, but the engine does not stop. However, if I press the gas pedal it stops immedeately. If I leave the car overnight, the problem is gone, and when I'm driving after a successfull start, there does not seem to be any problem with the power of the engine. This has happened three times during a two week period, but as far as I remember, only when the motor has been warm. I haven't seen this when I have made a cold start. Anyone got some ideas? Best Regards //Jan Persson |
