Idle stalling
« on: May 29, 2020, 16:59:02 »
Good morning, I recently had my late 250sl tuned and now after a cold start with engine idling at 8-900 rpm, rpms will drop and/or stall when accelerator pressed quickly. No problem if gently pushed or when warm or in gear.
Any thoughts? Thank you.

Probably too lean or your distributor isn't working properly.
