Hi JR,
no it was while shifting from first to second - it is a Turbo - hopefully I solved the problem with the exchange of the fuel pump.
I will keep you informed if it worked out. I will go to a car show this weekend - they are awaiting about 1500 cars - it is one of the largest US Car meetings in Germany. I will post pictures on Monday.
Have a great weekend

Regards
Ulli

>> Hi to all,
>> 
>> I passed inspection on yesterday, go it licensed today. Everything fine so far.
>> Drove to work this morning - fine. Got back into the car after work, it started right up, backed out of the parking lot, put in the first gear, second .... engine died while driving. Wont start after that.
>> I waited for about 15 minutes tried it again: starts right up, drives in first, as soon you shift into second engine shuts down.
>> 
>> Now I am back from a 30 minute foot walk and I do hope that any of you Corvair specialists  has an idea of what is wrong with my baby.
