Did you ever figure this out?
My 1993 300te has just done the same thing!! What did you find out!?
I actually bought this exact car from this guy 2 months ago and all it was was the flap in the throttle body was broken so we replaced the whole thing and haven’t had an issue with it since. The guy never said anything about the issue and on my way out of town it did it to me so I had to tow it home. Drives great now and he only put 2 thousand miles on it cause he couldn’t figure it out. I already put more than that on it in the 2 months I’ve had it.
