hi all my 1988 e200 carat ticks over slighty lumpy, iv changed the plugs, cleaned the connections in the leads, changed the air filter, rota arm & distribitor cap but still no joy, ant idea's? cheers

I have a big problem that my main M/B agents do not know what the problem is! , C Class 200, Komp, Petrol 36000 miles from new, car runs like a dream, perfect UNTIL I sit at the lights or a traffic jam, the engine starts to missfire as if running out of fuel, or as if someone is taking the plug...

Hi chaps. I'm new around here and posted a couple of threads on the Elecronics Forum last night so tonight I thought I'd pester the Engine forum. I bought my 2001 E320 CDI Estate last week (94k miles on the clock) and am working my way through the inevitable niggles. Its the first time that...

I have a c180 classic w203 and when on tickover the engine goes from 800-2000rpm and now and again the engine management light comes on but without any loss of power etc the problem only affects the tickover.

My E300 diesel is surging on tickover, the more load I put on the worse it gets, so putting the lights on makes it do it slightly where as putting the air-con on make it surge up and down really badly. Is this electrical :confused: I've just changed the ovp relay, sadly that fault was hiding...

Hi all I,ve been offered another Multi valve diesel that supposedly needs no work (unlike my other 2). I've used it for a few days and on starting some times it ticks over very slowly, the rev counter not working, then the rev counter starts working and the tick over speed comes up to normal, it...

Anybody know how to adjust the tickover on a W124 E300D 24Valve auto? Revs are a little high making snatchy gearchanges:crazy:

Over the last couple of weeks an intermittant very lumpy tickover has started when I've been driving a short distances and stopped at traffic lights (etc) and yesterday the engine fault light came on when I was in heavy town traffic...and stayed on. I parked-up and a couple of hours later when...

Hello all, Only had my 1998 CLK 320 Benz for approx 1 Month..but already have a problem with it :confused: I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem or has enough wisdom to help diagnose it? When starting from cold it runs perfectly and very smoothly. If I stop for a...

I was wondering if any of you very clever chaps :D can offer advice on my year 2000, w210 220 cdi, apart from setting fire to it, that is... when i start the engine the tickover is uneven, this lasts for about 30 seconds or untill i drive the car and it settles down. Usually worst when the car...

My E320 cabrio 1993 has started to "hunt" on tickover. It races up and down between 6-900:( rpm. Then, for no reason it will stop. Today though it seems worse. I'm told this is electrics? but difficult to sometimes cure. Any ideas please! Thanks

After scratching my head for a few weeks trying to get to the bottom of my problem, I stumbled accross the cause today almost by accident. Its funny how sometimes you just overlook the easy things. I was having a poke around the throttle linkage and noticed the absense of a spring. On...
