I parked my 97 960 at a slight incline for a few days and when I strated it up this morning it sounded horrible making terrible coughing and missing/sputtering noices for about 20-30 seconds. After this the car smoothed right out. My hunch is that the oil lifters were starved after sitting at incline for a few days. Could this cause the engine to run like crap until oil was lifted into the upper part of the engine. Can anyone confirm this or explain what might cause this problem? Thanks!
