my BMW 2001 316 compact se is cutting out on me, it seems to be from cold but does happen occasionally when warm, the car drives normally but a bit sluggish at accelerating, and after a few mins of driving when i come out of gear at traffic lights or round abouts ect the car seems to struggle and cut out, i can stop this by revving the engine or holding the revs about 1000 rpm when stationary, the MPG has dropped also

When cold it idles at around 1200 RPM and drops to around 600 when warm the problem is when i am idleing at around 7-900

I have recently had a new clutch and dual mass flywheel fitted (dont know if this would be relevant)

cheers
