David, we dont have a chevron station here on guam and it is kinda hard to import those petrol-type products here... right now, we are not receiving any packages since 911 day. the USPS is trying to catch up right now and in our area, the packages are strictly scruitinized... so that kinda backs everything up again... well.. the car is running a bit better. anyway.. I do wonder if my engine mounts do need changing? that might just be it... but I think I will wait 2 years.just live with it. ya know? it's not really that bad... maybe I'm just very sensitive... all my girlfriends who I take around dont notice anything wrong with the car... Dont even believe that it is about 8 years old...oh well... maybe I guess that's how benz is built... even though there is something wrong, it still feels better than another car.. heheh... :)

Hi,

We have a 1996 C180 Classic, and we too had a similar problem to you, we took our car to the local Merc garage, they foun the the Lamda Sensor was faulty, it cost £90 plus labour and VAT to put it right, I'm now pleased to say that it no longer makes me feel sea sick whilst waiting for the traffic lights to change colour, the miss firing, or loss of power has now been sorted.
I believe it has something to do with the fuel injection system.

Hope this helps

Lisa

thanks lisa-uk

infinite007,

I do not know if you found your problem, but, as I stated, my car was experiencing the same problem. Pick it up from the shop today. My problem turned out to be a vacuum leak. Now it goes prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
