Hesitation between 4-5k rpm?

Hey, everyone. 2000 beast in the shop for hesitation between 4-5k rpm under heavy acceleration. Gotten pretty bad lately. The shop says there is a catalytic converter code but they dont believe thats the problems. They are ordering MAFS for her. Anyone else had a catalytic converter code solved by new MAFS?

Make sure they don't stick you with the dealer cost of new MAFS. When you say shop, do you mean dealer or indy? The dealer will charge you $$$ for new MAFS. MAFS gone bad can throw a variety of codes.

yes....

sounds like a good shop going for the most common replacement part on the s62 rather than trying to get you to buy cats.

Three Codes

I now have 3 codes:

Catalytic Converter malfunction
Air Flow
Fuel Mixture

It is an independent mechanic. Replacing the MAFS to hopefully fix all codes. Warrany is covering the MAFS. Think it will fix all of them?

That's where I would start, esp. since warranty is paying for the new MAFS.

"Is it the sounds that make a BMW a BMW? A BMW is designed to be heard, felt, experienced. So our engines sing. Our steering talks back. And we insist on offering manual transmissions in nearly all our models for drivers who crave them. The result is an almost telepathic oneness with the car. Just as surely as you can hear a BMW, a BMW hears you."
