Hi All:

First off, a big Thank You to stevebfl, joeym, ozzy and inetd who helped with my power problem at wide open throttle. My '87 260E ran like it was starving for fuel. The problem got so bad, I could only muster 15 mph uphill.

The problem ended up being I think the EHA. I spent a lot of time not to mention a drained bank account trying to R & R parts. I first changed the EHA without fixing the problem then I read that it needed adjusting. From what I read a quarter turn clockwise was the ultimate cure.

I ended up turning it in one and a half turns clockwise to get it back to idle smoothly and at almost full power. This leads to my next questions to all you experts out there.

Is one and a half turns clockwise too much thus telling me that I have another underlying problem? I noticed with this setting, I have a lot of white smoke coming out from my exhaust. Possibly unburnt fuel. Not quite sure since it only happens when I gun the engine under load.

My coolant level and oil level seems to be steady so far. The car has been running fine for the past two weeks but the new EHA setting and smoke is starting to concern me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and Thank You in advance for anyone willing to chime in here.

Aloha,
Eric
