Let's not forget that's the _only_ year mercedes used the stupid particle trap , it plugs up and the faster you run the engine , the less power it makes...

I know of one '85 that was purchased for $200.00 from a used car lot
" engine's junk " , I told my buddy to have the dealer replace the particle trap for free , he did and now it like all '85's (different trannys & final drives) is a real stormer .

So , if after replacing the two fuel filters and checking the shiphon from the fuel tank (the intank intake screen plugs with fungus often) it's still slow , give that a look .
