Loss of power

335kc · 07-09-2021, 08:55 PM

Since Tuesday my outside ambient temperature been indicating -40F and a CEL light is on due to that. Bringing my car in next Thursday to the dealership but from my research, my currently assumption might be rodents issue. I also got a chassis stabilization message ONCE but it never came back. I'm also experiencing AC issues, it takes a long time before it gets cold.

Anyway today driving , I realized a loss of power? Definitely does not feel as fast as it used to be. Is that normal?

Theres another thread on this.
A bad Ambient temp sensor will make your engine idle very high and give you low boost. Have them check that.

Your profile says your drive a 335, you are in the B58 engine group.

I own a 340i. I had a 335i before when I made this account.
Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge over someone's username and mind your own business.
Thanks.

I could care less about your username and maybe don't be too quick to judge that I am judging. Your profile is out of date and states you drive a 335. Your original post made no reference to a particular vehicle and we see people cross post all the time. Chill out.
