Bad spark plugs, bad eng coil or my Z4m is allergic to hot weather?
Hello everyone... well, about a month ago after driving the car for few hours here and there.... in a 90 degree temp, the RPMs would drop a little while waiting for the light, then at a diffrent light... the engine stopped. It actually happened about 3 different times on different days.... but now it seems fine although I haven't been driving when the temp is above 85 or so so I don't know if I should order new coils or spark plugs.... or ignore it. what gives?

I am pretty sure that it is not coil or plugs. I have never heard of them being affected by temperature. I would check things that are affected by temperature, like water temperature sensors.
Just my .02 cents but what do I know. |

True true.... now I'm thinking if I had picked up some sore of bad gasoline. I was planning to remove the plugs to see if anything looks abnormal.... but the phreaken car runs fine now. Now, when I'm at a light I'm constantly paying attention the RPM needle.... I guess I'm paranoid.
