First, the car would run ok (if we did not crowd it) up to about 60 MPH. Today I barely got home. It slowed down, died, but would start right back up, and run at about 15-20 MPH. Crowd it in the least and it died. Seems to me to be fuel problem. Maybe filter? Where is it located? What else should we check? Thanks, Jim Morgan. 704-902-7133 or 873-1160.

Welcome to the forum, Jim. There are a lot of knowledgeable people to give advice and help you out, but you need to help them out a bit too. We need model, year, mileage, and a brief amount of maintenance history and description of what you've already done in the way of testing or replacement parts in an attempt to correct your current symptoms.

I installed a new fuel filter, and the car is running much better. However the idle is slightly rough and the engine still surges badly during full throttle. I appreciate any help you can give me. It is a 1991 190E with 2.6 Gas engine. We recently got the car on the road. I had been sitting for several years. Our mechanic replaced the fuel distributor, fuel injectors, and cleaned the gas tank. When I replaced the fuel filter today, the fuel pumps did not look like they were new. I may have misunderstood our mechanic.
