190e stalling on steep slope (forward only)
This is my 3rd post here regarding this problem.
Replaced ICV,OVP and Fuel Pump Relay and also checked speed sensor and all wirings as suggested by Steve and Jackd. My 190e still stalls when slowing down on a forward slope. I let the car glide down the slope on Neutrel to see if it was the tranny that is causing this problem, but the engine still cuts off when the car is gliding down a steep slope when the brake is applied. It is like something is going wrong in the car or not working properly when the car is tilt forward when applying the brake - on rush pressure problem ??? battery???. Will fuel pump and filter contribute to this problem? Please help as mechanics here ain't that familiar with W201 engines. |

How then should I clean the fuel tank?
Is this going to be an expensive job - fishing out the masking tape????

I forwarded the story more for its entertainment than as a reason of what is causing your car to stall.
If it were mine, I would try to determine why it stalls ..... ie. fuel, electrical or some other problem. For an example, is it only on one particular incline or any? Or will it stall when you wiggle the ignition key (thinking here a large cluster of keys on the key ring causing the tumbler contacts to move). If, and only if, it is something in the fuel tank, then get access to the tank via through the fuel sending unit and shine a light into it and check the bottom of the tank. If there is something rolling around you could retrieve it. Keep us posted, Haasman

as your link showed,it would be water in the gasoline too.
Like ice pellets in sub-zero temps.

How about putting a fuel pressure gauge on it for a while? Jerry

I'm afraid I don't have the precise answer for you, but..
this similar problem existed for another member and another car (a 300E-124) I think. His problem was that the car wouldn't start when parked on an incline with the front facing "down" toward the bottom of the hill. Since I don't own that type, I don't remember the answer to solving the problem, but I think it was a "safety factor" that Merz had and was easily fixed. Try searching for "300E not starting on hill or incline" sorry I couldn't be more precise, but it MAY be that you have the "same" and can fix it easily. I did a search and couln't find the thread to which I was referring.. maybe it was another forum, but I spend most of time here and not on others. sorry, but good luck. I think the previous posts should help you determine the problem.

What condition are the engine mounts and tranny mount in? It's possible that excessive engine movement from bad mounts is causing either the primary or secondary ignition to lose contact from a bad wire on deceleration.
Also check for vacuum leaks (hoses at the idle control valve are a prime suspect -- are they pliable or rock hard?) and for other vac leaks, and clean the air flow meter venturi. Peter
