Stupid A/c !!!!!! - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

This A/C system in my 126 is screwing up!! Sometimes it will cause the engine to choke and stall out and all of this black smoke comes spewing out!

It usually happens when the car is turned back on after 15mins of driving previusly done with the A/C on. It does it occasionally.

What the hell is it?? And another thing.....why do these dumb compressors take sooooo much power out of the engine? I am afraid sometimes because when I need to pass or do something fast, I dont want to really gun it because it is working hard enough as it is.

I just spoke with the tech... he will replace either the thing that you push buttons or recharge it. I guess we all have probs with
AC

Is it the same problem you were talking about before?

Snibble I dont think it needs new push buttons or a recharge. It is doing something to the engine, eitheir too much fuel went in or something.

From what you said before it does sound like it's something with your idle syestem

But if it was the idle system, then wouldnt it be causing these things to happen when the AC is off?

So is it the idle control box on the top of the firewall or something else? What should I look at?

I got the Chilton mannual out and looked in it not really anything useful unless you have a carbrator. here is a copy of the 2 pages that would pretain the most to your car.
