I just purchased a used BMW 6 Series and I've noticed that it has been stalling when idling for too long. Is there something wrong with the engine or could it be a different issue? What steps can I take to fix it?
ReplyThere could be several reasons for your BMW 6 Series stalling at idle. One possibility could be a dirty or faulty idle air control valve. It's responsible for regulating the amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate when the car is idling. My advice would be to have it cleaned or replaced by a certified mechanic.
Another common issue could be a clogged fuel filter. If it hasn't been replaced recently, it could be causing your car to stall at idle. Try replacing it and see if that helps. Also, make sure to keep up with regular maintenance, such as oil changes, to prevent future issues.
It's also possible that your BMW 6 Series has a vacuum leak. This can cause the engine to run rough and potentially stall when idling. I recommend having the vacuum lines checked and replaced if necessary.
