1987 300e
I just bought a 1987 300E and it is running like it has water in the gas. What it does is run out well, when I stop at a redlight when I go to take off it will not go and almost goes dead. It will do this going down the road sometimes, when I let off the gas and apply again it will pick back up.
Also it shifts into rev hard unless i have the brakes on hard, really pushed. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks. Also I let someone talk me into using "Seafoam" for my Benz. Was this stupid or OK? Last edited by elewis; 11-10-2008 at 09:50 AM. Reason: Adding more information

97 300e
I have an '87 300E also. Put 110K on it over 9 years. Wonderful car! Even with 203K on it now, I would not hesitate to take off across the USA.
I had the same problem with starting from a stop. Believe it or not, it was the coil! Hope this helps. Anziani '87 300E 203K '95 E420 112K

Vacuum leaks can cause all sorts of havoc, including shifting issues. Have you checked all the rubber?
