Hello everyone..

I have been actively browsing this forum for over 2 years now..
and found it very interesting, very much helpful and knowledgeable.
Whenever I encounter problems with my car or needed tips, I am able to
find it here..

However, I am now stuck with this problem that I have not seen any of you guys post in this forum previously..I am therefore itching to find the solution..

O.k first thing first...A quick introduction..

I am from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, my ride is a 1985 W201 190E 2.0 Manual
that comes with Bosch KE-Jetronic Fuel Injection. Iam the second owner since the year 2000. When I bought the car in year 2000 the odometer was not working so I have no idea what is the mileage like..
But the engine looked like it had been overhauled before.

It had been running great until only recently. (About a month ago)

The first symptom I had was the engine stalled for a split second whenever I went through a speed bump or speed breaker whatever yuo call it. But this is intermittent. I'll say out of 10 speeed bump I went it will stall about 3-4 times.

Initally I thought the fuel tank is clogged, so I relaced the fuel filter, but the symptom still persist. Then I swap the fuel pump relay and OVP with a friend's unit also does not help at all. (But my fuel pump relay and OVP runs find on his car though). The spark plug has also been replaced.

About 2 weeks after that the problem turned into a nightmare. Now the car is unable to move at all. First it is getting difficult to start.(It will fire only after 10 or 15 cranks) Usually it will fire on the first crank hot or cold.

When the engine finally starts, it will idle nicely but every time I press the throttle halfway it will sputter and die. As though it is starving on fuel. In other words, the engine dies when given load.

I thought the fuel pump is bad, so I replaced a new fuel pump but still it sputters when I press the throttle halfway and very difficult to start.

Before I start to replace more things I just wonder if anyone had experience this problem before..

Sorry for such long posting.. but I am really curios to find the answer.

Thanks in advance..
