1983 240D rough idle/stalling at light when warm
The car starts and runs fine. Then after it warms up when I get to a light the idle is rough and will stall if I don't shift into neutral and keep the idle up. Then when I start driving again the power is really low but eventually gets better.
Any ideas where to start? From what I've read it sounds like it may be fuel lines/filters/manual pump leaks. Just though I'd ask before I started digging around in case anyone had any ideas. |

Valve clearances should be checked. Especially if you have no ideal when last done. Maintenance requirement every 15K to check them.
May not be it but a place to start. |

It was a clogged filter. Big piece of whale snot. Seems fine now.

Have you flushed/cleaned your fuel tank?
May help some of the whale snot issues |

I was planning on replacing the sending unit this winter so I'll take a look then. |

We occasionally forget almost always fuel filters first on any suspected running problem. They can enable so many issues .
I did this time. |

Yeah I'm new to this whole thing. Why do you think it only happened after driving 30 minutes or so? Just bad luck?
