Intermintant problem with Z3 Roadster- 2.3l 6cyl, 5 speed
Feels like it's in the wrong gear, then the engine light comes on and runs very rough.
I pull over, shut off the engine, restart it and everytrhing is OK.

Could this be some type of computer thing?? Any suggestions for a fix?


Thanks
Paul

Could be any number of things. Bad coil, bad cam position sensor, bad computer, bad fuel injector.

You need to have someone read the computer fault codes that the computer stores when this happens. You can find someone locally (or buy one yourself), a Peake Fault Code Reader (about $150), take it to a dealer, or take it to an independant shop with a reader.
