I just bought a 1992 500SL which worked great during the test drive. Now that I own it, the ASR light comes on, it goes into limp mode and the engine will stall.
I've read the treads, trying to narrow the problem down. One sympton is that it may only be occurring when the car is driven at low speeds, such as in traffic. If I can be aggressive with the throttle, no problem.
The other feature to my problem is the fact it stalls. As the dealer pointed out, that shouldn't happen in the limp home mode as it would be a saftey problem.
The car is now at the dealer, he has not found any codes. He's searching.
Anyone have any good ideas of where to look first?
