500 SEL Engine help
OK The car:
1985 500SEL 196,000 mI On cold start - very very rough, black smoke worse than a sick diesel, rough in any RPM range missing when hot at idle and black smoke, smooth at running speeds Seems to be a vac leak somewhere, as climate control defaults to defrost when driving could this be the only cause? Not familiar with the gassers - about to resort to a indy could the original timing chain have anything to do with it? I have looked and looked for the vac leak w/tester but not familiar enough with the engine to find. It looks like the lines UNDER the intake are not in the correct spots. are there any diagrams for this?
