Engine Performance problem
1984 BMW 528 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 275K miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
My BMW 528e (1984) starts on the first turn of the key but idles, warms up, and runs roughly. It backfires in neutral and backfires and runs terribly on the open road. I just replaced the MAF and the fuel regulator. It's a terrific car but I can't pinpoint the problem. I haven't changed out the plugs or coil but I do have a new fuel filter to put on it. I'm inclined to think it's not the filter but rather some other ignition problem. What does it sound like to you?
Thanks,
GSL
