Hey folks!
My '93 244 has been having some issues. The car always starts and will drive fine on the freeway. But when it comes to stop and go driving around town-its really not happy.

It frequently has a rough idle at stop lights or in traffic- followed by slight surging and sounding like it will stall. Several times it has stalled. It always immediatly starts right back up. If I rev the engine while at the stoplight- it loses the rough idle. Over the past few weeks these symptoms have become worse.

Spark plugs, wires etc are all pretty recent. Maybe fuel pump relay? Not sure how to approach this. Was thinking of using some techron? (I know...no such thing as a mechanic in a bottle) Any suggestions would really be appreciated! I tried using the search button and wasn't finding anything that totally matched my situation.

Thanks!!!!
