Hi All,

Been a while since I posted after getting rid of my shimmy after only 8 years of owning the car.

So I was driving the other day, I get off the highway and pull up to a traffic light and I notice a slight engine hiccup and as I come to a stop at the light the car dies. I try starting it, but it won't fire up. I keep trying and it catches then dies right away. Wait another 30 sec, and it fires up. I pull into the parking lot and as I am parking, it dies again. Left it for 15 min and came back and fired right up. I drive it back to work and as I am stopping at a traffic light, I notice the same hiccup as before and it dies again. This time it won't start for another 10 minutes. Any thoughts?

I am thinking maybe a vacuum leak, but not exactly sure what to look for. Any other thoughts? I drove it home after it fired up and parked it since (4 days now). I just can't reliably drive it now, so I need to try something before I take it out again.

Its a 91 535iA w/ 140K on it.

Thanks,
Al
