M(63)5 poor running under load

Right. I give up.

The M(63)5 isn't running well. It starts and idles fine - even drives fine up to about 3500 rpm, but under load or more than 4000 rpm it misses badly.

I had let it run out of fuel during the winter so assumed fuel would be the issue - it feels like fuel starvation.

In order, I

replaced the fuel filter;
checked the AFM;
replaced cap and rotor arm;
replaced coil;
checked TPS;
replaced in tank pump;
replaced fuel pump.

Any further ideas?

It'll end up at an esteemed M car specialist at this rate.

Perhaps run a bit of injector cleaner through , as you ran the fuel tank low previously .......

Or , just sell the old shagger to me !

One more thing....

What about the fuel pressure regulator? Or, perhaps more likely, the vacuum connection?

Just a thought...
