Hi all. My 2200 tc has developed a persistent problem whereby if I stop for say 15 mins then get going again within 30 secs to a minute the engine splutters and often completely dies. Thirty seconds of trying to start and it usually runs again. Ithappens every time and I noticed if I pull the reserve control it seems to help if I set off after a break and run on reserve for the first two or three mins the problem can be avoided but obviously it's not ideal. Obviously a fuel delivery problem and possibly connected to the main reserve tap maybe. I tried simulating the same scenario on the drive but the car was okay so the car in motion would seem to be a necessary ingredient. All advice greatly appreciated as always.
