Hi Mike,
So I guess we don't have a definitive reason for your poor running? My '91
300D 2.5 did something similar - bought it Saturday - filled it up at a
place we buy fuel for the 240D - drove home and put around 100 miles on it
yesterday and it ran perfectly - could NOT ask for a more perfectly running
car. With 99k miles it's seems more like a new car than a used one. Then
today, I needed to run to the store and with the temp in the mid 50s decided
to drive the 300D. Love driving it! Anyway - started right up as usual but
then it wouldn't rev past 1500-2000 rpm. Stopped at the corner and back up
to my driveway where I shut it down and opened the hood to investigate.
Didn't see anything wrong so I can't really say what caused the problem.
I changed the pre-filter and will change the main filter when it arrives.
Looking at the pre-filter didn;t show anything wrong. -
Take care --
Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)

No "whoosh", and no further incidents 600 miles later. The fuel
filters will get replaced anyway.

I'd bet on plugged fuel filter, air leak at one of the supply hose
connections, or an algae-clogged fuel tank strainer. crack the fuel
filler
cap and listen for a "whoosh."
