This is going to be long but please bare with me:
so as most of you may know I thought I needed a new clutch because my car is having that "lagging" problem in high rpm's and m trap speeds are all over the place. But, for some reason, I thought it may be something else. Since BBR is an hour from me, I brought it to HP Logic which is a very reputable tuner shop near me where one of my really good friends owns it. I had him drive my car to see if he can see if I really needed the clutch or if it was a different situation. He said it felt more like a tuning problem and could easiy be fixed. So, just to see how the AFR was, we hooked it up and took it for a spin. I didn't see the guage, but he said that it was running lean, but it kept fluctuating and it needed to be retuned and that a clutch would so help even out too. Since it was Christmas week, I didn't get a chance to take it to BBR so they could fix it. Anyway, today I was driving on the turnpike and a 335i that sounded modded wanted to have some fun. So, I dropped it to 3rd and started to do the bogging/lagging thing again, but I blew it off. For some reason, it was doing it worse than usual (probably because I got a lot colder but I have no idea). So as I was about to shift, it sounded as if my intercooler piping had popped off ( it happened once before, so it sounded like it). When I put it back into 5th, the car wouldn't accelerate AT ALL. Luckily, an exit was coming and the 335i that I was running, got off at the same exit. As I was at the light looking for somewhere to pull off to, my car started slowly sounded like it was turning off. The guy next o m asked if everything was ok, and I told him something was wrong. Than, my car just shut off. I tried turning it back on, and it just died again. He pulled off to the side and helped me push my car over. It smelled like I was leaking fuel. Everytime I started up the car, it just slowly died. Finally, the check engine light came in. Anyway, I don't know what's wrong with it. Since it Sunday and BBR I closed, I had it towed to my friends shop where hopefully he canfind out what's wong with it. If any of you hav any ideas as to what might be wrong, please give me your input and thanks for putting up with my story
