    Default My 535 will be running perfectly, then suddenly,,,

    Posting for: Lindaoz

    Hi Bimmernuts, I would appreciate ANY help with my car's problem.
    My '89 535 will be running perfectly, then suddenly the ABS light comes on, and
    the engine cuts ! I pull over to the side of the road, start the car again
    and it will run perfectly for another day/ week/ month, and it happens again
    .
    It sometimes has happened several times in one day, and once, not for a
    month.
    Last week the engine cut when I was halfway through passing a truck --- Very
    dangerous.

    The "Experts " have told me (1) The cranking sensor needed replacing - I
    did this - no difference ! (2) the fuel pump needed replacing, -did this -
    still no difference. (3) Plug leads- ditto. (4) air register - ditto. (5)new
    iridium plugs - Ditto ! Distributor checked, timing checked, ABS unit seems
    to be working o.k. during braking; also, sometimes ABS light will come on
    for a while, without engine cutting out. Ignition switch seems O.K.

    I would appreciate any clues, suggestions, solutions that fellow bimmernuts
    have to offer !

    Cheers,
    Lindaoz.
