high speed sputter

[baileydog]

Baileydog one of the new E34 nuts here...I have been watchin' and learnin' for a few weeks and now I have a question...

I don't really like to admit to being a speed demon, but on a business trip south on the beautiful Vancouver Island highway, I did manage to get into a pissin' contest with an Olds Aurora (Northstar engine) I believe. As we were hitting 220kms (136mph)the olds was running out of poop or the driver was, and the 1994 - 540ia (my new baby) started to sputter...this is the first miss of any kind to come out of her in the 3 weeks that I have had her. I have been testing the limits in the lower gears, and the car is willing to go to 6500RPM with no fuss....question is this.

Was I getting a top speed warning from the ECU or does it sound like some dirty injectors or fuel filters.

I love the board and I will never go this fast again.....honest ;) ;)

That's right around where the top speed limiter is. I'll fix that for you with one of my chips. I didn't raise the top speed in the auto, but can do it if you would like one. (can't have you loosing to an Aurora)

baileydog,

The 540 doesn't top out on 225km/h!!!! It should top out on 250 km/h !!! Sounds like an clodded auto transmission filter to me !!

Howmany revs was the engine running at 225 km/h ( it should be approx. 5800-6000 rpm )

Jose..

I was watching the speedo not the tach, so I can't tell you...but there was lots of poop left when it started to sputter. I thought it should go to 250km myself..The manual says it will go to 149MPH.

Many of the 540iA's have the limiter set at 220 km/hr. The 6 speeds are set higher.
