My 1995 BMW 318i stalls in any gear above 2500 RPM. By stall, I mean literally stalls out won't go any higher and starts to die. Any clue what my problem might be?

Do you have a check engine light on?

Lack of acceleration,chugging,hesitating********,bogging,misfiring etc. could be caused by one of the following below


Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.


Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing.
