91 200q DIES -- Need Help!!

["Paul Waterloo" <pwaterloo@compuserve.com>]

My car died two days ago, magically restarts and then dies again today --
took a tow home. :-(

Before I dig into the Bently, maybe somebody can help me with an obvious
answer.

SYMPTOMS
Two days ago (and a couple times in the past month or two) the car ran just
fine, then I left it for about 1/2 hour after fully warmed up (it has been
very cold in Chicago in the last few days but I don't think that has
anything to do with it) and tried to start it. It would stumble when started
(about to 4-500 RPM) then it died. Would stumble again when started but then
died. It would just turn over and over - no fuel smell, I think it is a fuel
delivery problem. Called tow truck, went out 30 minutes later and it started
up no problem, ran great --cancelled tow truck.

It worked for a few days then today I was driving 30 MPH and it just died
dead as a door knob. Same thing, would stumble a little then totally die.
Then it wouldn't even stumble. Towed it home, it won't start, but turns over
great!

I think it is a fuel delivery problem, has anyone got a BTDT for these
symptoms? I'll ask Mr. Bently also.....

TIA!

Paul
