1990 MB 300E Stalling - Had been stored 1 year prior...Please help!
Hi,
I purchased a 1990 Mercedes Benz 300E w/87K several years ago which is in great shape. I have used it very little since because I have a 1983 300D w/159K as an everyday car.
Usually I would take it out every month or so for a run, but a year ago I changed the oil with Mobil 1 5W40 and hadn't used it since. Took it out yesterday for an inspection and it started up right away, ran it around the block a couple of times and them headed to the station when it stalled. It would not start again until 20 minutes later. Ran a couple of minutes and it stalled again. The stalling occurred while trying to accelerate from a stopped position. So I drove it back home and am looking for advise as to possible causes and suggestions.
- The car was kept in a heated garage.
- Changed the oil as stated.
- Battery Tender on battery.
- Put Stabil (stabilizer) in the gas tank.
Any help on what to do now or how to bring out of storage correctly would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bob K
