Hi

Yesterday, I drove about 3 miles and went shopping (no problems so far). When I returned, the engine didn't start. The starter turned. I then tried with half and full gas. Now, sometimes the engine stumbled for a few seconds below 500 revs. A few times the engine even fired correctly up to 700 revs, but only for 1-2 ignitions. Finally, after 30 min the engine coughed up to 1500 revs and then roared as it should.

I returned home. The idle was more or less stable but it would have stalled when starting up hill. Otherwise the car was running fine. At home I tried to restart the engine after another 30min: negative.

Does anyone have a test procedure? The fuel pump was buzzing and I smelled some fuel after starting for a while.

Cheers
Tom
