hi Dr Hagerty, i have basic skills under the hood, but by no means an expert. If you could let me know the problem i may be able to fix it myself, Im trying to avoid a big garage bill as im moving house atm and money is tight.

Good enough for me mate, lets start with the easy stuff first. Do you have any of the history for the car? The problem you are experiencing might be due to something like a fuel pump failure(failure to make enough pressure) or a leak in the intake tract such as a torn intake boot or vacuum hose popped out. The 1995 model year was transitional for BMW so I request the last 7 of the vin so I can ID the car please.

The site admin is sure to have that info. mike@2carpros.com will get you there mate, and the loose injector connector is certainly cause for the poor running thing, good on ya for finding it quickly!!!
