engine surging
I have a 1992 325is. When I am accelerating, there is a surging. You can feel it and see the mpg gauge moving up and down with the surging. The check engine light is not on, but I performed the 4 digit code test which had the code 1444. I believe this is the "fine" code. What could this be? I have had the car 3 years and it has always had this problem.
The other problem I have is the system is flashing "check control inact". What is this and what should I do to correct this? Thanks! David |

Thanks for your help! The O2 sensor cured the surging. I'm finally able to enjoy the car the way it should be.
Thanks again, David |

Yes, in my case too- the O2 sensor. Mine was noticable while the cruise was set. Although I didn't feel the surge, my mpg needle on the panel would bob back and forth. I thought it was a vaccum line, but the problem went away after the O2 change.
