I don't know about you fellas, but the fuel filter is literally impossible to remove from my car without A) stripping the nuts holding it in line, B) twisting the fuel line, or C) all of the above.

Maybe you live in a warm climate or something, but here in Michigan, where they put salt on the roads in the winter, there ain't a chance in hell of ever getting that fuel filter off. I've tried and stripped my nuts halfway down in the process. Even my dealer says forget about it.

 

You think these are expensive? Obviously you've never owned a BMW.

 

its the ECU

fuel injector #5 was wide open

capacitor was burned out

 

be sure to spray carb cleaner into the throttle body hole where the idle air controler goes after you remove it, that helped me
