idling

Chirping sound when idle.Is that beginning of the end?Help!!

Hi all, Had the car serviced last week, full oils and filters as I've just bought the car. It was running well previously although the mechanic said all the filters were full of crud and had clearly not been changed recently. However now when I stop the car at a junction it frequently idles...

After a trip around Europe in my 2003 C220 CDI, injector 1 was covered in black death and juddering when idling. I put on the computer and injector 1 was faulty, so i replaced injector 1 with a recon injector with new seal, bolt and clamp. Started up and took on a drive this morning, the...

I have noticed over the past week when I stop at traffic lights etc my idling revs are just above 500 RPM on the dash when normally it should be just below the 1000 mark? Also, it seems to be fluxuating up and down slightly (you can feel the car almost juddering ever so slightly). The...

The following occurs intermittently , say , 1 in 5 times it only occurs from cold and lasts for just a minute maximum it is apparent during stop start driving but undetectable when on the move On start up from cold the revs rise and fall from approx 700rpm to 1000rpm no problem when in P or...

My C250TD would idle smooth when cold however after driving it for about 50km the idling would sometimes be irregular. I had the plastic pipes and o-rings replaced but without luck. When I rev it up it smooths out again. Could it be the lift pump? Your comments / advice would be highly appreciated.

i started my 300SL after two weeks today. It started fine the first time, I then turned it off, but 5 minutes later it would not start again - after a few tries, smoke started coming from underneath the hood, not sure where it originated from. After an hour I tried starting it again, and after...

Hi guys, loking for some advice on how i can progress an issue i have got since my car has come back from paint.before the car started starightaway by the first turn, no idling issues, kickdown responded near enough instantlythe car has been sitting idle for nearly 2 months, doing very short...

Guys, has anyone come across this problem before....the car will be very rough on start up, then rough when put into any gear....and then idles erratically. ...and now it has begun to stall. The car has been serviced, and it look as though the next step is throttle body? or even...

I last posted on the 5th of this month concerning my W126. I had to keep the engine revved until it reached near to its operating temperature, then it would stabilise and allow me to move away. I replaced both the dizzy cap and rotor arm (with genuine bosch parts) as per the advice from Mazza...

Ok Ok not that bad but I must admit I have vowed to keep on top of every niggle with this car to ensure she doesnt end up with an arm long list of stuff to do. Sensible enough he thinks as he digs deep again Right just bought everything I need to perform a G/box and torque converter oil...

My E220 W124 (Automatic Transmission) has a peculiiar problem. The car stalls while idling whether it is in the Drive position or even in Neutral or Park position. The car starts again on ignition. This has been happening for the past few days. Any suggestions ?

Hi guys. I'm new to all this, but here goes. My E230 estate ('97 P reg) has done 183000 miles but recently started playing up. When cold the car starts fine and idles properly for about 5-10 seconds. Then the idle speed starts to falter and drop, sometimes stalling and other times 'chugging'...

Noticed my CLK was idling a bit quickly on the first start today - around 1300rpm. After about 30secs it dipped down to a more normal fast idle of around the 1000rpm mark. Other than this car is running fine, MPG good and no other symptoms. Once warmed up settled to the usual sub 700 rpm...

my car c180k MY05 is idling at about 1300 revs when enging is warm. from cold start it is normal arout 600 revs, when aircon is on it comes down but sort of bounces between 600-800. lights and wipers do not have the same effect. diagnostics revealed no fault codes about 2 weeks ago and was told...

Hi, Just picked up my first ever Merc a few days ago, a 1979 450SL and have found that it is not happy to idle once the engine is up to temperature, it cuts out when moving into drive or reverse from park or when bringing the car to a standstill. Any suggestions or hints where to look for...

About 3 months ago my cruise control started operating intermittently, then finally stopped working. Just after this I noticed the car was idling at around 1100 rpm. Can't say if this occurred exactly when the cc died. Mechanic checked it and pronounced the throttle body was faulty. Had a...

I would appreciate any help here. C180 1997 62k miles. The car starts ok from cold and then within a few seconds or so the revs climb to about 1200rpm. The engine then hunts and pops like small backfires until it warms a liitle a few minute later and returns to 700rpm. The car then drives...
