Couldn't find the e34 Bentleys .pdf but here's one for the e36. Same m50 engine. Check sections 120 and 130:

Get an inexpensive digital volt-ohm-amp meter & check stuff like the reference sensor, coil resistances, etc. Like Ryan said, some stuff can fly under the radar & not trip the CEL. I'm not sure why CEL can't produce the stomp test. Is it a US model? Is the bulb burned out?

Thanks for the help...
I love my car and I have to do something about it.
It is so strange that it was running fine. I parked somewhere, turned off the car, started it again and there it is....out of tune.

That is what I was gonna do next, I still trying to observe how to remove the fuel line which is sitting on the top next to the ingnition wires.
Do you know of a better way of doing this?
There are 2 nuts on the top and there are rubbber hoses connected to one end next to the firewall and on the other side there is also another rubber hose.
My fear is if I start removing it, there will be pressure from the line and I will be taking a bath with 92 octane gasoline.

stick a bunch of rags under the fuel rail in the rear and slowly release the pressure from the hose clamp. you might get some spray but in doing it slow you should be able to move the rage around til the pressure bleeds off.

If the coil shorted it's possible that you blew the ECU. When my wifes 93 525 lost a coil it killed the ECU also. I replaced the coil and still ran like poop.. Pulled ECU and opened it up. I could see the blown piece. Replaced the ECU and everything is good. I did go on and replace all the other coils and Put a EAT chip in for good measure. The ECU cost big bucks 5 years ago.. I've seen them on EBAY for less than a couple hundred. Back then it was close to a grand...OUCH!
