K-Jet diagnosis - engine cuts out

Post by E21meister »

The last few times driving The BOL (my standard E21 323i with K-jet), the engine cuts out on the motorway and has all of the hallmarks of fuel starvation; it doesn't just stop, the engine splutters like you've either blocked the air intake or you're running out of fuel. If I turn the ignition key off & on again, it starts up fine, which seems to indicate something electrical being reset.
Is this the first signs of the the fuel pump giving up the ghost, or something more k-jet related?

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
