This weekly Q&A session answers your questions about cars and trucks. This week explores a BMW 528e with a hesitation and answer a fuel pressure question.

Question:

After my BMW is completely warmed up, it hesitates (loses power) in small bursts - usually after about 20 minutes of driving. These bursts will eventually worsen to the point where the engine will almost feel like it's about to die completely. It literally feels like it's running out of gas.

Feathering the gas pedal will keep usually keep the engine running and often the problem will intermittently go away, but it will not go away completely until the engine has cooled down again. Unfortunately, the cycle repeats itself the next time the car runs. The problem usually starts after slowing down from one constant speed at about 55 to 60 mph and is worst in the 45 to 50 mph range. No "check engine" lights show and the tachometer does not drop off sharply indicating a loss of electrical power. There is a slight increase in water temperature just before and during the periods of power loss.
