new 3.0l was running...now lean and stumbling
hey guys..had fun with the new motor for the last week, just under 500miles on it now.
came home from a drive yesterday and parked it...went out 2 hrs later to go for another drive and she started instantly but was stumbling and the afr was in the 15s...so i shut it down...checked hoses and wires under the hood and checked the chip in the ecu. started it agian...was a little harder to start this time and still stumbling and afr in the 15s.
the car has sat for months...possible clogged fuel filter?? ive filled it twice now though.
i dont htink it will start now..tried for a second and it didnt fire up like it did earlier.
thanks for any suggestions in advance,
adam

Mine does this on a regular basis, but thankfully it has remained rare enough to not really complain about it.
I have put it on the account of the Bosch Motronic. My S2 also does that.
Seems to happen more often when the weather is damp.
