starve for fuel?
Just left car wash, I had lots of brake dust on front wheels. I may have sprayed lots of soap water in this area. I left the car wash area, in route for my blow dry mile run. Turned ESP off, nailed gas, Major stall car went to idle and would not respond. I coasted to side, turned key off. Restarted, car ran great now the check eng. lite on! Call Ms. GoodWrench button, she questioned last time I fueled up. This seams to be the first question to every error? She was willing to contact online mech. but since it is Thanksgiving Day, I said I would call dealer Friday.
About an hour later I pulled car out of garage---No Check Eng. lite? WHATZ UP?

kinda curious how water got in. hopefully, everything turns out fine.
had a chance to drive a 03 230k as a loaner and that car definitely needs more power. it does have a very quite engine though.

fuel & water
Still no eye deer. How water got in tank? But I got my car back today!!! Runs as good as ever. Question of possibly something added during shipping from Germany *HARMS This was only the second fueling since coming home. No other problems reported at station. Any way glad to have it back. PS Dont count out the new Accord , Frank

good thing you got the car back without any complications. congrats
I'm not counting out the NEW Accord. It's a very nice car from certain angle, but overall it has a controversiial design. i.e. "will people buy a family sedan that looks like a sport roadster"

food for thought as to water in tank...
When the tank is running down, and temp changes rapidly, then condensation builds around the tank. If you have a very low tank then there is lots of area for that to happen and more water to accumulate. Dont know if that is it but I have heard of that happening before. I always try and keep it full in the winter to avoid that problem. I never let it get very low since that can make for a bad ratio of water to fuel.
