01 fuel starvation problem

[bmwgolfguy]

I have an 01 sport with about 77,000 miles on it. I purchased it about 2 months ago with 75k on it.

Since owning it, I have encountered a problem with the engine just cutting out on me for no apparent reason. It usually happens when I am coming to a stop or stopped at a light. But it has also happened while driving with my foot on the gas. The engine will cut out for a split second then come back on by itself. Most times tho, I have to restart it and it starts just fine. Sometimes the CEL will come on, but most of the time it doesn't. It doesn't seem to happen util I get to about a third of a tank of gas left.

I have tried the dry gas and Chevron injector cleaner that you put in the gas with no success.

Any idea what is going on? Any help is appreciated.

Best to get a code checker and get the code when it it malfunctioning.

Possiblities:

• CPS
• TPS
• Harness connection loose or corrosion

It was in fact the CPS. My mechanic ran a code and put a new one in today. He is going to drive it for a few days and make sure that in fact was the problem.

Thanks for your help!
