HELLO, I STARTED THE 4 CYL AN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE LIGHT FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN STAYS ON. I WARMED IT AND IDLES VERY ROUGH, ALMOST LIKE IT WAS MISSING 1 CYLINDER, IT SHAKES AND COULD NOT GET PAST 40 MPH. I DROVE IT HOME BY COASTING MOST OF THE TRIP. THE SAME THING OCCURED LAST SUNDAY IN SACREMENTO. I STARTED IT AND RAN ROUGH SO I SHUT DOWN, WAITED, STARTED AGAIN THE ENGINE AND WITHIN TWO MINUTES IT SMOOTHED OUT AND I DROVE 500 MILES FROM THERE WITH NO PROBLEMS.
I HOPE THAT THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP WITH FINDING A SOLUTION. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH,
It sounds like an ignition problem. Make sure your battery is good and connections are clean. I would start by replacing the plug wires and spark plugs. This is a good tune up procedure anyway and will increase your mileage some. Clean or change the air filter. The obvious thing is to make sure the oil is new and filled to the correct level, not overfilled. Your engine will love you. I hope this helps.

BMW 316 Compact. 2000 reg. Engine M43TU. Carried out decoke. Reassembled. Car started/ idled well but accelaration problems when I took it for a spin round the block. Possibly Timing slightly out. On return/parking car wouldn't start again. Engine turns by hand. Cluster lights very dim when ignition switched on. Charged battery. Still the same. As if something draining battery. Suspect starter motor??. Any suggestions/pointers please?
