engine stalling
any help appreciated.
car has been fine since i bought it a year ago, and i've looked after it. car has z4, 3" from turbo back, hks dumpvalve, walbro pump thats about it
4 weeks ago i put decat up pipe and air filter with resonator delete pipe, car still ran great....
2 weeks ago i put white dials in and the fuel niddle has give up working,
few days ago it konked out and started a couple times, but just kept dying, so i walked to the garage and added fuel and it went, drove home fine, left sat for approx 5 days, used today and it konked out again, cant be fuel as i put £30 in and only done 35 miles, but put a tenner in incase but it's still stalling, it will go a bit and try stalling, if i stick my foot down i can just keep it running and it will sit still running, but i cant boost it
please help, is there anyone in surrey that can fix it, i'm not mechanical minded lol

Hi, the first time it happen do you think you ran out of fuel , if so you could of picked up some dirt out of tank and could of blocked filter or partly blocked filter, easy job to change . Shonner

Start with the basics....
Have you checked for any stored fault codes on the ecu?
When the car refuses to start, have you got a spark, and fuel flow to the injectors?

when you changed the dials I take it you took the needles off?
If not then ignore, but a lot of people have had issues when they had to remove the needles,
so as mentioned maybe your gauge wasnt reading correct and you have sucked a load of gunk up from the bottom of the tank.
