Hi, I'm new to this board, but need help with my car, and no one seems to have any info for me. I'm the owner of an '82 260 with the D24 engine, and it's been stalling on me for seemingly no reason. It never happens when I've been driving alot, only when I've been idling for a little bit, and happens if the engine is cold or warm. The engine will first make a sound like something rattling around in a tin can, then the rpms drop until the car eventually stalls. I can't for the life of me cause it to happen (i.e. to show people) nor prevent it (save for stomping on the gas in neutral, that seems to stay the stall for a minute or so, but it ALWAYS comes back), eveything I've tried has no effect. I'm beginning to get really worried, any ideas?
