Hi guys i want to adjust the idle mixture on my car, smells as though it's running a little rich. It's an 88 300ce.
I'm a little confused though, the car has no O2 sensors that I can see. It has the diagnostic port with pins 2 and 3 that people use to adjust duty cycle but I also have a CO2 reader. Which one should I use to adjust?
It has a slight miss at idle and oddly is slower or perhaps more lazy than my previous 230ce to accelerate, although I'm aware the 6cyl is a lazy-er engine by nature. It wakes up above 3k rpm and reaches 110mph fine before I give up as it wanders slightly on the road(plugs and wires are new original bosch non resistor ones and Beru silicone leads and cap and arm OEM nearly new in good condition)
