Shutter and Check Engine While Accelerating
So this AM on the way to work, my 2008 X5 (3.0 70k miles) would shutter when pressing on the accelerator and would hardly accelerate. Check engine light came one. While pulled over and in park, RPM's would go up and down 1k. Shut it off and restarted, acted like nothing happened and ran just fine the rest of the way to work.
About 4 months ago it would hesitate during aggressive acceleration, but then after a can of Seafoam was fine. Not sure if related. Thinking may need to replace spark plugs/coils. Though odd that a "reboot" would fix a mechanical issue. Any other thoughts? Thanks! |

Sounds like plugs & coils. I'd pull the fault and see what comes up
