Greetings,
1995 525i, 200,000 miles...
Before I break out the Bentley and the voltmeter, I thought I'd ask if
anyone has experienced this before. While cruising on highway (75 mph) I
first noticed power seemed to "drop out" for a second, car began to slow,
RPMs dropped down and erratic in general, and also noticed the fuel economy
guage max out (to highest economy reading) but after a second, everything
goes back to normal. Anyone care to guess what seems to be the problem? I
appreciate any insight into this. Could it simply be a vacuum problem,
maybe?
Thanks,
KB
