1992 500e
My girlfriends mom has a 1992 500e with 25,000 miles sitting in the garage that she said I can have if I can figure out a stalling issue its having.
The car kinda stalls and cuts out when its warm sometimes, and sometimes if its cold outside but the car is warm. We are not sure why it does this. Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? We have taken it to many shops over the years and they always say they cant reproduce the problem |

Just tell her you figured it out, everything is good, and go get the title signed over to you right away, and get it out of there quick, then go work on the engine stalling issue later.
A running original 500E with 25,000 verified miles on the clock is probably worth $30,000 to $50,000 and it is being given you free, so just take it "as is" and worry about the problem AFTER it's unconditionally yours with keys and title in hand.

Oh, crap. I agree with Jim. Tell her "I'll take it", have her sign papers, then figure out what it is later. Holy crap - why don't things like this happen to me?

lol, she will expect to see me driving it lol, So i need to get the stalling issue fixed ahead of time lol. She thinks its worth someplace between 13-20k Lol. I never knew that it could be worth that much, she said it was a limited edition model but yea.
My GF's family is rich lol, she has two 97 porches sitting right next to it that she never drives really lol. I love this thing 25,000 miles and the thing is freaking mint!! I love the little smoke screen thing that slides up the back window and stuff. The car is freaking fast. Any ideas on the stalling issue would be great! |

Check the wire harness, the throttle bodies, and if those dont work, go to 500E.com and ask around.

Can you say OVP relay?
Does the 119 have an OVP relay that is as lame as the 103 and 104? If so or even if not, I would replace it first.
Then, offer the car for sale to ME for what GFM wants Dave |

maybe this is obvious. but if you get that car fixed before you own it, YOU WILL NEVER OWN IT. take my word on this.
