Hi all!

Sorry to unearth an old thread, figured its better than starting a new one on the same thing.

Just picked up a '92 300TE. Low miles (sub 150K miles) and a beautiful example. Got it for a steal because it runs like crap!

Same exact issues as the original poster, smells of fuel in the engine bay, slightly hard start and a huge flat spot when you try and depress the accelerator.

I will check once again, but I did not notice any fuel leaking from the EHA, or anywhere around the fuel distributor. I will note that the fuel smell is very strong coming from the driver side fender area, so I'm thinking it's either the purge valve or the vapor charcoal canister itself is bad. Anyone suggest replacing these first, or dont bother wasting my time, go for the EHA valve?

Thanks all!
