I've been on vacation for the past 2 weeks. When I reutrn to work I'll look for the page I scanned and mail it to you.
How is life in Fresno? Have you made any recent trips to Enrique?
In fact,he knows about the idle "fix."

I certainly appreciate it. It's hot up here in the valley, fortunately it looks like there will be some relief starting tomorrow.
My 90 300CE also has M104. It has 140k now. I recently worked on the flex discs and transmission mount, the result is amazing. On highway, it accelerates all the way to 100mph, smooth as silk.
It's been several years that I do sometimes get the "stop-go" twitch, it only happens when try to pick up speed during a car slow down or after a complete stop, such as at the red light. It happens more when the engine is hot in the summer. I believed it's a fuel injection/fuel supply problem. But after countless hours of tinkling, I start to wonder maybe its the ignition/idle control electronic issue......
You know, I certainly wish I can live closer to Mr. MB. However at the same time I wish I can have this trivial solved on my own. A man's dilema.
I am a cheapskate, you know that.
