Weird.
This morning the car started fine, I drove to the go station (approx. 5 km) and parked the car. As I was getting out of the car the train pulled up, so I decided to get back in the warm car and wait for the next train. I pushed the clutch cranked the engine over and when I let go of the clutch, the engine died. It did this 3 times before I gave the car gas to keep it running.
After a min of the car running, I tried it again and it was fine.
Could I have witnessed a vapor lock or something else weird?
Strange thing was, the engine was warm from the drive to the station....
