Isn’t that the truth? Rube Goldberg would have been proud of the OM606 fuel system.

But yeah Shertex I think you have a fuel problem.

I would check the fuel system for air ingress. You’re up north, make sure the lines under the car haven’t developed a rust through leak.

Also make sure the rubber hoses bridging between the engine and the body are good.

I would look at the fuel preheater thermostat also, that thing gets leaky. 10 years ago they had a rebuild kit for it, not sure if it’s still available.
