97 318i hesitates in acceleration when temp is near center(during high rpms, car will stall at low rpm). This pattern will continue for approximately 10-15 mins and then the acceleration will return to normal. I just had the plugs, valve cover gasket, spark plug gasket, mass air flow meter replaced. Any Help is appreciated.
There is no check engine light. There is no code, or else my mechanic would have discovered. It started doing this before it went to my mechanic, and after. My mechanic thought that he nailed it down by replacing the mass air flow meter. However, that seems to have been only part of the problem. The car quit on him only once. The car currently has 217K. I replaced the engine temp sensor about a year and a half ago when I had the radiator replaced. The car sat undriven for approximately six months. I don't think that it is a vacuum leak because my mechanic thoroughly checked the car out when he had it. I just got the car back about two weeks ago.
