I need some input from you guys and gals my 99 500 ac has been sitting in the shed for three months without being used. in those three months it was started three times left running for a bit then shut off. i had gas treatment in the tank to keep the gas fresh now after recovering from a motor vehicle accident i go out for a ride then stop and let it idle and it quits after three or four minutes of idling it quits it never did this before. i played with the idle screw which seems to help a bit but not enough to my satisfaction any body have an idea on this[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Check the air filter for a nest from some animal and check all the hoses, some might be plugged with dirt or something.
