Hi All
I'm back with some more questions.
So when the w124 300E (m103) warms up and engine temp is between 80-100c, and i stop at traffic lights with the car still in Drive, I can feel a slight hesitation in the idle, and oil pressure drops to just under 1. If I put the car in Neutal it rises just above 1.
When accelerating the oil pressure rises to 3.
So I removed the distributor cap, and inspected it, giving it a clean with wd40, and some wire wool. Could probably do with replacing it to be honest.
Put it back, idle seems the same.
I noticed my car didn't have the round orange plate, so not sure if this could cause the idle issue ?
I took off the idle control valve, and tried to give it a clean. Not sure if this makes any difference to the idle hesitation.
Just thinking what else I could possible try apart from replacing the distributor cap and rotor arm.
Thanks
