right now we are working on a old bmw 325eta sport.(we plan to replace the black car with it eventually) and we have it going now, but it misses strongly.. most problems have been fuel related, any hints on how to clear the miss? it revs and responds fine, but it misses strongly.. (it sounds like a tractor right now, its hysterical.) maybe bad injectors? needs a new windscreen too.

well, we drove the car the first time.. it has a very strong low end miss. at high end, 3k-4500 rpm(which is top for a eta). not much of a miss, still some.. but at low end under load, it is very bad.. no acceleration.. any ideas? bad alternator perhaps? the engine is slow slow to warm up too.. rpm at idle surges slightly at idle.. 500 rpm, and the fuel pump is audibly changing speed randomly at idle.. not strongly, but it does change slightly.. possibly voltage fluctuation as my father tells me? it has a poor idle as well, no backfires or anything deathly bad, but the driveability is poor.
