If you are experiencing a misfire before putting any serious money into the car do a compression and leakdown test. These motors are pretty stout but not immune to problems from poor maintenance . Lastly, a failing fuel pump can in theory create this code set if it is old and worn out but that is also an unlikely failure. ‪@M3NACE‬ P1188 & P1189 Video:    • E36 P1188 P1189: How I Fixed it.   Time Stamps: 0:00 What is P1188 and P1189? 2:04 Vacuum Leak 4:25 Fuel 6:52 Ignition 8:06 Sensors 11:32 Final Thoughts Tools: Smoke Tester: https://amzn.to/44fjTs4 BMW INPA Software Video:    • The Software BMW Won't Tell You About   Injector Rebuild DIY:    • E36 BMW Fuel Injector Rebuild DIY   Parts List: For OBD2 cars (1998 M3 used as search filter) Fuel: Injectors (https://amzn.to/3VkKShO) Fuel filter (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-...)
