 BMW 3-Series E90 - 09 2 Power without accelerator - zippy
Hi,

I have a poverty spec 316D, which is actually surprisingly good.

The odd problem that I have is that when driving when I take my foot off the accelerator, power is still being provided. This is new (had the car from new) and is quite disconcerting especially when braking or going through a gap.

Not that I would do it, but if I were driving along a flat road in 6th, if I took my foot off the accelerator but did not change down, I would eventually stall the car. The problem is that this does not happen at the moment and the car keeps going, albeit slowly.

When stopped the car ticks over at about 800RPM and it has done 19k miles, 14 of them in the last six months.

The car does not have cruise control.

Any advise appreciated!

Thanks
