    Hey wrenchers!

    My '90 348 stalls after a minute of idling.
    At first it runs great, but after a minute, the rpms dropp to 600 and its over.
    The engine restart without a problem but dies after yet an other minute of idling.
    Any ideas?

    Regards. Ben.

    I would start by checking the vacuum tube connections. Make sure you don't have any that are leaking, or that have come off.

    You may be losing one bank? Due to bad igniter or coil?

    It's an early ('90) 348, correct?......so, has the ECU update / replace ever been performed?

    And, is the result the same whether the engine is hot (or) cold [operating temp]?
