Engine shutter any reason why????

marinellie · 12-18-2010, 06:51 AM

I just picked up my car two days ago after BMW replaced 6 injectors and 6 spark plugs. I have noticed when car is at idle the engine shutters once every one to two minutes. It only happens after car is warmed up. The shutter is very quick. Lasts only a split second. Any idea's?

Great. Maybe the coils need to be done too? I hate to bring the car down again. It has been there soo much this year.

I have the same issue, started after changing my spark plugs. Does anyone know if there's a way to monitor and find out which cylinder has the problem using the BT tool?
