brothers, i have an 1987 e30 coupe 320i and its having a few probs right now...first of alll the car tends to jerk and kick when i drive it(i think the malay word for it is sangkut) and the rev meter keeps fluctuating up and down btw 2-3 even when the car is parked...and every now and then the rev drops below 1 and the car just dies off...i sent it to a mechanic who told me its a problem with the distributor..he said he changed it and stuff and charged me like 1k for it but the problem keeps coming bck and after he set the air flow sensor the rev is always kinda high at about 1.3-1.5rpm....i dunt know how good of a job he did...what do i doo
