Sweet I found out what the problem was!!


It seems that when I replaced the ALDA lines a while back.

The were made of shoddy material.

And sort of disintegrated In just a few weeks.

I am going to replace the lines with rubber ones later on today.



Thanks guys I appreciate all your help!

And will let you know if anything else happens.

My 300SDL had a similar problem, after 200k. Overnight, after it shifted out of first, it just would have no power. I think I had the same comments about walking would be faster. I use to run diesel purge regularly, had changed the fuel filters a few months before, and I thought it was a vacuum problem. I took it into the dealer and after about 2 days they found that the culprit was the fuel compensator attached to the fuel injector. The first one they put in had problems with the idle, they ended up replacing that one and the last year and a half it's been running like a champ.
