Default 1985 280 SL European engine stops
I just purchase a 1985 280 SL Europe, I start the engine and it is OK, I drive the car for 2 miles and then the engine stops. I try to restart, it starts with hesitation, then stops again. I wait 10-15 minutes starts and then stops again.Finally it starts, this is happening quite often. What can it be?
Thanks

Could also be a problem with the ignition coil. Does the engine die when you step on the gas?
