Yea, I know that a 240D with an automatic IS a slug but..... When the outside weather gets hot, it will barely get out of its own way from idle to about 1000rpm.

I have changed BOTH fuel filters.
I have the altitude compensator backed off all the way
The fuel strainer in the tank is clean
It gets FULL throttle
I don't believe the valves are tight

It sometimes wants to go from a stop but then loses a little power. Once it starts to rev up, it runs great all the way to 80. I can climb grades without power loss.
Can the primary fuel pump be going bad?
Leaving a signal lights gets interesting, I push it to the floor to get it to start in first but sometimes it still creeps until it gets rpms up a little.

Any suggestions????

Hi,

My 300D seems to have simlar Symptoms... have you figured any more out ?

Heard from anyone else regarding your issue ?

Let me know if you can, Thx.

No other input as yet. I have since adjusted my valves, checked the chain stretch issue (OK), and changed the fuel pressure relief on the aft side of the inj pump. The only other thing I am going to try is changing out the primary pump with a used one I have. If it works, I'll let you know.

Might clean your tank strainer or try a different fuel station.

Tried that.... Thanks.
