BMW E38 740i M60 4.0 V8 motor,erratic fuel pump pressure HELP PLEASE
Hi,i recently got a good deal on a E38 1995 200,000km BMW 740i and i've started having this annoying issue where the engine sputters (its like it hits the rev limiter) whenever i punch the throttle (even in Neutral),it does it at around 3-4000rpm.
It can be driven as long as i dont punch it. I tested the fuel pump and i am getting 45psi idle pressure then when i step on it,the pressure goes down a bit and then just jumps randomly to 30 then 50psi,essentially cutting power to the engine. THIS IS WHAT I DID: -tested pump relay with my e39s relay -swapped the MAF from my 540i and still the same -changed fuel pump this morning,still the same -tested ground to fuel pump -tested current to fuel pump for fluctuation and its all good -fuel filter was removed when i did the pressure test and it still happend so thats not it. -i have magnaflow catalysts so no problem with air flow *i dont have a CEL on but it does come on momentarily as the engine cuts off,i did the pedal trick and i get 1215 which is air mass flow but it does the same thing with a different MAF and with the MAF removed.And i dont see how it would affect the fuel pressure. What could it be guys?What could cause the fuel to cut off like that ?please i need some help to get going again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysYiGqvFCoE |
