fuel injection prob
i have a 1980 merc 280se, or 126D europian manufactured.
when i push on the gas the rpm will go up slightly then the engine bogs down and the rpm drop below 400. the vehical starts, and idles ok, it's just when I push on the gas. and if I put in gear it will run... but only at about 5 mph. does anyone have any ideas? |

I'd really appreciate any help/advice any of you can give me with this problem. This car is my daily driver, and it's been a real inconvenience having it out of commission like this. Please let me know if you need further info to help with a diagnosis. Thanks in advance!

Well, that's a start. That means its probably an M110 engine, check your VIN and see. The engine number will start with either 110.987 or 110.989
Don't know what the difference is but I do know there are a number of fuel injection systems used with that engine, find out which one you have and do a search. Plenty of information in this forum if you can be a bit more specific. good luck

Sorry for the delay in getting this info:
The number on the driver's side engine block is 1100111101. The car has been timed/tuned properly, has new rotor, dist. cap, plugs & wires, new fuel pump & filter, and a new air filter. Again, any help with diagnosing this problem will be GREATLY appreciated! |

Do you have a 'fuel economy' gage?
(intake manifold vacuum)... and what is it doing while the engine sputters?

it stays just a little bit before the halfway mark, but will go as far as the halfway mark as the needle shakes a little.

I was thinking vacuum leak but that doesn't ring any bells in my limited personal experience.
Have you considered getting the fuel pressure tested?

does that model have a fuel accumulator like the 450s?
they're known to go bad an impact fuel pressure. on my recent purchase of a 76 450sl, it ran terrible (and barely) when I got it. fuel system was all gunked up from neglect, etc. a few bottles of Techron in the fuel system really did wonders. I still have work to do but cleaning up the delivery system helped a lot, and was easy. |

sounds like bad mixture to me, which culd be for a number of reasons, gunk in the system being just one.
what sort of fuel injection system is it?
