Engine Malfunction

JaysBlueE92 · 11-17-2011, 07:55 AM

I recently noticed that my dash light came on with "Engine Malfunction - reduced power" after hitting a small bump. Funny thing is less than 10 minutes later, I turned the car off, then back on and the code was gone.

What could be causing this on a 328? I know on 335s its often the fuel pump, but am unaware of any issues on 328s? Car is due for spark plugs so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it

Scan the car and it will tell you why it reduced power.
