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.
