ok im a new ti owner, ive only had the ar like a month now so i dont know **** about them. i was leaving wendys today and as i was rolling over a speed bump my car acted as if it had stalled out and kinda jumped forward, although the car didnt stall out the check engine light came on. i pulled over and checked all my fluids and everything was fine but im a little uneasy. the car ran fine on the way home......let me know if this has happened to neone else or if someone knows what the hell i did. thanks mike |  |  | | 04-08-2010, 11:57 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,895 |
Maybe check that the battery cables are on tight?
Be sure the neg is tight to the body of the car at the other end too.
I'm just guessing here! __________________ ...

Did your check engine light flash at you or just illuminate?
Perhaps you had a misfire? Take your car to Advance Auto and have them run a scan using their OBDII scanner. It's free [at least here in Chicago] and will tell you what threw the code.
Are the spark plugs secure? __________________

when i got my 96 ti i had a "lurching" problem while taking off it would jump and buck, after a few days a check engine light came on and then went off a couple days later, i found that the air intake duct that connects the air filter box and the intake had a hole the size of my fist and was allowing unmettered air in past the maf sensor, replaced duct and all is well now. hope this helps __________________ 1996 318ti base: m44, 5 spd, lsd - 18x8 bremmer kraft wheels w/sumitumo tires 225/40R18 & bmw locking lug studs, 10mm spacers in rear, halo headlights, cold air intake, koni str.t struts and shocks w/mounts, h&r sport springs, serp belts, control arm & tie rod kits, front sway bar links, JVC kd-x50bt headunit w/ipod hook up in the glove box, alpine sps-500(front and rear), jl audio 10" powerwedge max, jl audio 250.1 amp, motor mounts, fuel filter, passenger side window motor, drivers lower window run, muffler hanger kit, various interior bulbs, left door striker/ajar switch, lower hood latches, changed from gray vinal to black leather shift and parking brake boots, m3 weighted shift knob, ngk-r spark plugs, magnecor spark plug wires(blue),new cabin micro-filters,new headliner & a-pillar mouldings, 5w20 synth-blend oil and filter, BG Ultra Guard syn. rear end fluid & ls additive, BG Syncro Shift II syn. manual trans fluids, stainless steel braided brake lines and dot 4 fluid, extra brake light mod, new p/s reservoir and rubber hoses
