My friend has a 1983 Mercedes 280CE that I've been driving and I'm probably going to buy but it has a cutting out problem. After the car's been running for about 10 mins it cuts out whenever you slow down, whether slowing to a stop or just slowing. Various people have speculated that it could be a problem with a fuel injector or some sort of problem with the engine's idling but I know nothing about car mechanics and was hoping somebody on this forum might recognise this as a common problem with the 280CE. Any suggestions appreciated.

weak mixture??
Possible inlet manifold leak leading to weak mixture. Check all the rubber pipework is good condition or properly attached. Check the spark plugs for light running weak colour .
