Hello, let me first say that my machine is a 2004 export Mercedes to the USA. Why am I in the UK club you might ask? Well I own a Norton Motorcycle and a Jaguar E, I am in both owners clubs, the Bike a UK club and the Jag international. I have met a lot of real good people from the Uk so here's my question: What is the electronic item placed on top of the intake manifold (2.7 inline 5 diesel). it's marked walen and timec. has hoses going somewhere and an electrical plug. It produces a high pitched whine with the key on, this continues after the key is shut off then ends when a click is heard, a solenoid?
I am wondering if this could be related to the RPM problem I am having. the engine rpm is only 2200 when all the shifts occur. it will not downshift, its as if the throttle is not connected. sometimes /usually when first starting out it will have more power, rev up to 35-4000 and has much more power of course. this only lasts a few times(shift sequences) then returns to the low power 2200 shift. The machine has rested for the last 5 years with very little use, prior to that was used regularly and serviced at MB or freightliner dealerships.
thank you in advance for any help! don't know the age of the fuel but the battery is brand new.
