I have a problem with my 1996/P C200 Esprit (Manual).
Over the last few months I have noticed on rare occasions a sort of hesitation with regards to power delivery.
Eg, if you were in say 4th doing 40ish and put your foot straight down, it would slowly pick up as you'd expect. However, on a few occasions it would cut out. Ie, it would hiccup and stop picking up as it should. As you release your foot from the full (or there abouts) throttle position it would return to as it was just before the problem.
I was going to have this addressed on the next service as it was only an intermittent fault and didn't have any other problems.
Anyway, was away for a couple of weeks and left the car in the garage. I had been giving it a clean and realised that in listening to the stereo the battery was low/flat.
Charged battery and thought nothing of it.
A week later, started the car and it seemed ok, except that now it has got a similar fault to what I had before, but permanent.
It will not rev past 4000 rpm.
Tried restarting etc etc, checked everything silly/obvious under the bonnet.
Was thinking of checking out where the MAS was and I can't find one. Working through from the air filter up to where the inlet is and the only type of sensor I can find is a little tiny push fit thing - nothing like the jubilee clip and spring clip-mounted one that Graham C230K has.
I take it I must have either a MAS or air-flow sensor of some kind?
Any other possiblilities for my symptoms?
Thanks for any help in advance.
