Bolemister, One thing I think you should keep in mind is that your MB is just under 200k, and mine is just under 100k. I know this doesnt sound very technical, but I would be hunting for an "age" related problem, not a "use" related problem.
I think a dry rotted, or corroded something would be the culprit.
Again, Im just guessing. What do you think?

Lorainfurniture, I think you are on the right track with the age related therory. I bought this car in early March and it did
not have the fault it does now. It started doing it about 2 weeks later. However, after replacing everything anyone could suggest it still does it. I'm not sorry I replaced all those parts. The car is in great shape, but I got it without records, so now I do have records, for this group anyway. I keep searching for dry rotted or corroded stuff and I fix anything I can find, but so far nothing has helped except making the EHA a little richer. It's been suggested that in doing that I'm just covering up the real problem and I think that's probably the case.
I'd like to pursue the fuel pressure leak-down therory next. What's a good procedure?
