I recently changed out the Wires,Rotors and Dist.caps on my 92 400e. Its been a week and now when I start it first thing in the AM, it misses and sputters a bit when I take off. After it warms up, its as smooth as silk. I'm gonna do the plugs this weekend,as well as recheck all the connections. Am I missing something?

ECT
Also check the ECT sensor. If it has drifted (changed value, a common failure mode), then it tells the cars computer to use a too lean mixture when cold. Thus it runs roughly until it warms.
Mine ECT is a four terminal device (black) mounted on the front of the engine. Here's what the manual says for the ECT's temp (deg C) vs resistance. Pull of the top and use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between adjacent terminals. Readings should be no more than +/-5% from those below. If so replace the sensor. Temp(C)-Temp(F)---- Ohms 20 -------- 68 ----------- 2500 30 -------- 86 ----------- 1700 40 ---------104 ---------- 1170 50 ---------122 ----------- 830 60 ---------140 ----------- 600 70 ---------158 ----------- 435 80 ---------176 ----------- 325 90 ---------194 ----------- 245 100---------212 ----------- 185 |
