| RE: 300SE stalls and dies, then starts right up and runs fine???
This happens with mine too and I finally figured it out.
It has to do with fuel line pressure. The fuel senders don't keep the lines pressurized well after a long tim (i.e. 15 years) and the gas slowly drips back into the tank.
When I turn my car over, I turn on the electrical but I don't crank the engine for about 5 seconds, its gives the electric senders enoughtime to pressurize the lines with fuel.
As a side note the angle at which the car is parked also factors into this.
I do this with my SEC and have had no more of the stalling your discribing hope this helps
