Why is your 1985 BMW 528e backfiring just started doing it after i changed the timing belt?

The timing marks were probably not set right when the timing chain was changed. This will cause the timing to be off and can result in backfiring and loss of power.

Why do my car cut off while driving I got a new battery and connections are tight It cut off twice after 5 minute driving It still starts now No smokes No overheating Enough gas What is the problem?

My 93 VR4 has started doing this at 195K miles. It runs fine after this sputtering and occasionally backfiring and even dying. Then you can recrank it and drive all day. I am going to take it in but the bets are that it involves the choke cutting out. The timing is about right. If it were the injectors or filters then it seems that the problem would continue while driving. I am still drining it at present until time to take it in.


89 prelude shut off while driving but started after jumped but didn't keep running for long it wasn't the alternator?

I've had that same problem. My first guess would be the alterator. but, save your self the trouble of taking it out by first taking your battery to an auto zone and let them test the cell for you, if your battery cell is bad, it doesnt matter how good your alternator is, it just wont hold a charge, period. if its not the battery, then its definitely the alternator.

Why is my yz250f losing power and backfiring. i just recently switched to synthtic oil and after a 30min ride with no issues my bike started bogging and backfiring at low rpm's?

No idea why those problems would suddenly arise after an oil change, but the problem is definately carb related. I would suggest tweaking your fuel-air mixture screw as it sounds like your bike could be running to lean.

Check your alternator (it charges the battery) If it quits you are running straight off the battery and that won't last long. Also check your belts. If they are loose and slipping your battery won't get carged and your alternator won't work properly
