Hi guys, the GL has been great since the SOC, I did a bit of work as you know to the car. It has not been driven a lot. I drove it last weekend and it was perfect. I went to start it tonight and it became a nightmare, the idle on cold start was up and down erratically until it warmed up then Idle seemed to struggle. The car did not stall but engine speed became weak, I would then try to accelerate and the engine seemed to choke incredibly, almost like it was fuel starved. It did not stall out . I could not get the car to accelerate at all, just a struggle. I shut the engine off and boosted the car. I left the cables on and let the battery juice up. The car started beautifully and I could accelerate about 20 feet and then the engine started to do the same thing. I was wondering what you thought? The battery? Alternator? I know the engine is fine as it fired perfectly after the boost but quickly went downhill again. I did get a great workout pushing the car around :) help., hope I can get her going, it is a beautiful weekend for 99ing>
