rough idle, poor gas mileage, no power

[Raidereast]

I have an '85 528e. without load, the car will rev great. as soon as it is under load no power when pedal is pressed slightly passed 1/8. have checked the cts and a few other things. dont know what to check. i love my car, but this is gonna make me park it.

Checked the CTS?

You read the Bentley? THere's a great section on injection trouble shooting which is an excellent place to start.

The loose 'threat' of parking your car does not expedite assistance on this board.... In fact it does do the opposite-- think about that.

Post your location-- someone near by may be able to find your fault in minutes.

you have any vacuum leaks? tear in the intake tube?

i checked the CTS. and stating that i was going to have to park it was not a threat. it was more off a "damn, im gonna have to park my buddy".
