Subject: 94 740iL Stalled now runs rough Author: apane : member since August, 2004 : 176 posts Posted on: 2008-02-02 12:34:24

Hey guys need some advice here. Last night I had stopped to get gas after leaving the station the car started to run rough and the check engine light came on. Drove about 2 blocks and light went off. Drove about another 2 blocks and light came on again and car stalled. The car would not start after that, it was cranking but would not turn over. Got towed home and then tried to start it and the car started and runs. But when i give it gas it wants to shut off. Almost like there is no throttle response.

I did a stomp test and it came up 1213. Both oxygen senors have been replaced this past summer. And intake gaskets and rear plate were replaced about 80,000 miles ago.

By the way this is the first time the check engine light came on since i replaced the oxygen sensors this past summer. It also was raining very hard last night and I was driving in that mess for about an hour before this happened.
