Engine Performance problem
2000 BMW Z3 Manual 60000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I just drove through a really bad sandstorm (infact my car got stuck and I had to call AAA to pull it out). My car now only goes up to 50MPH, even if I try to change gears. If I try to go faster - it will drop back down. It also makes a horrible noise.
What else do I need to do (change my air filters, get an oil change, etc)?
I am on a fairly tight budget - I saw that the auto part store caries an engine cleaner that you pour in after an oil change. Is this a good way to start?
Your help is kindly appreciated. Thanks!
