rough idle
First of all i want to say thanks to mercedes shop for having such a great forum if it wasnt for u guys i would probably go bankrupt .Here is my problem i would drive the car for about 1 hour let it seat for about 15 mins then i would smell gas then i would try to start it , it would die the first try then go again with a very rough idle i would floor it after about 5 to 10sec i would go and everything would be find
just replace ovp , cat converter, new plugs ,wires. thanks guys |
Hi!
I have a very similar problem, what is your car? Does the engine quits? Folgado 93 S500 |
It's a 1989 300e and yes the engine would quit on me the first try then it would start again but with very rough idle and i could smell gas like i have a leak or something
|
May be you DO have a gas leak!
Check the fuel lines and fuel related items under the vehicle. Passenger's side behind a plastic cover. Another thing you can check is the EHA which, is under the air filter assembly. It is a black box attached to the rear of the fuel distributor. Not uncommon to leak. If it is leaking, replace it.:cool:
Good luck! |
well as a result of my rich idle , smell of fuel , rough idle when hot my car as now failed inpection failed the co inspection by a mile
by the way J i did check the eha it s leaking a little bit of fuel pull it out i thought it might be the 2 small o ring that needs to be replaced so i replaced them and tighten it back i do know if that is going to work , as far as failing inspection going to change my o2 sensor this weekend |
Before you change the O2 sensor...
check in the DIY section. There is a excellent article by Steve Brotherton on evaluating electronic controls. If your EHA is leaking, chances are, it is bad.
Good luck!:cool: |
Ok let's say the EHA is leaking could that be the cause of my rough idling the engine is running rich i try to adjust the idle mixture it is like having no effect on the way the engine is running always running rich which is why i failed inspection
|
you wouldn't want to continue running rich. if so,
you might need another cat. |
maximus, I had the same problem with my car it turn out that the O2 sensor was bad. I got a new one and everything was back to normal.
