No problem at all really. The fuel pump or filter may be full of rusty
bits or other crap from sitting so long :( The filter (use Bosch) is up
in the engine bay, there are two sizes - (I think yours will fit the
large diameter one). Consider a faulty fuel pump relay, jumper 30 to 87
for a trail test. 

The pump is up under the car back near the rear axle and tank. You'll
get gas in your face if your not careful, have a catch basin ready and
prepare to pinch off the line as you disconect it from the tank. Be
cautious, the stuff likes to catch fire, eh? :)

The other thing that might cause the funky behavior would be the hall
sensor connector, (be careful, don't snap it while investigating) or
other 'spark' related items. DOn't forget an air leak on the intake
system could also be your problem.

Daylight and some hands on might find an easy answer.

GL, Oh and you DO have a Bentley, right?
