Hello I have a 1986 3.2 Carrera which has been standing in my garage for some time. I tried starting it but would only turn over very well but not start. I could here the relay click in when the ignition was turned on, but noticed the fuel gauge showed no fuel, although there was some fuel when laid up. Put a good 2 gallons in and eventually the engine fired up. After approx. 5 minutes running and warming stationary the engine ran nicely but then became lumpy and stopped. Returned 2 hours later and it started and ran well instantly and died after about 30 seconds. tried again, would fire but not start. Tried next day, would start and run fine for approx. 30 seconds and dye again and again would fire and try to start. Sounded like a fuel starvatin problem. I am wondering as the car stood for a while and perhaps the fuel evapurated or 'leaked' would the new fuel I added need bleeding to the injectors? or can you please advise of your advice. Thank you for your time.

Drain the fuel tank and replace the fuel filter. Fuel does not have a very long shelf life and whatever is in your vehicle is likely bad. Fresh fuel and a new filter may be all you need. There is no reason to bleed the fuel injector, Any air trapped in the lines will come out when cranking. the engine.
