My E34 is stalling. (limp??) I got in to drive it today and got engine light on and when I went to drive it it would pass 30-50 miles. I had to keep shifting. Whta could it be? Its a 90 525I Manual

Do a "stomp test", find out what engine light code is being thrown, and go from there.

Ok so I took out the bat and put it back in. The limp in mode is no more. Car is running fine, but still got the engine code on. I tried to get the code, Its five sets of five sec pressing the gass down right?

What kind of car do you have?

they key on position 2, press the accelerator down fully 5 times, quickly. Then watch the check engine light. The code(s) will repeat, so keep that in mind when trying to figure it out.
