I have an '89 190e 2.6
About two weeks ago it stopped running in an intersection. Had it towed to the shop. The mechanic told me it was the ignition control module. Had it changed. I limped it home after discovering that I could not give it very much gas before it would sputter and almost die. Got it home, shut it off and started it again. It idled ok ( a little jitter, but no big deal.) Called the mechanic again, he told me to change the overvoltage relay behind the battery. Ok, changed that. Now it will not start at all.
Any suggestions?

This is the Classifieds. You need to go to Tech Help.


I would check the ignition coil. I have had many fail with these symptoms. The other thing that is really common is the fuel pump relay. You can take it out and jump the 87 and 30 terminals to test. IT is located behind the battery and has Kickdown written on the top of it. (NOT KLIMA)

This could have been a misdiagnosis. The newer control systems are complex and hard to diagnose properly.
