Strange happenings are afoot..



Here is the deal....

Today I am driving the Yellow Rocc (Turboed G60 / Motronic) to do my
appraisals in.  The Charleston morning started out beautiful at 72* with a
slight wind and sunny.  The turbo was loving it.  Best the car has run since
I bought it (last September/October) I am just finishing up in the last
neighborhood shooting pics of comparables when the noise I have been hearing
for the past couple of weeks gets real loud (sounds kind of like a water
pump that is on its way out, but not related to engine speed) and then the
car dies.  Like it ran out of gas. I sit for a few minutes just letting
everything cool down and it fired right up.  Drove about a half mile and
same thing.  (I was thinking this is typical of fuel pump failure) I let it
sit and it starts right up.  This time I wait and see if it will stall again
just sitting in Neutral.  It did. I start it up again and this time when it
starts to die I hit the gas pedal.  As long as I kept it above 3000 rpm, it
would stay running.  Made it to the Interstate and all was well at highway
speeds. I made it back to my section of town, topped off the fuel (it was
about a 1/4 tank) and the car ran great with no further problems.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?  I am still thinking fuel pump.  I still
hear the noise that sounds like it is coming from behind the passenger seat.
When the car is stopped and I am outside trying to hear it, I don't.  Any
one have any clues for me to track down?

TIA.
