M103 Leaky EHA, Lost power
The car is a 1991 190E 2.6L M103 5 speed with almost 350,000 miles on it. It's been having problems rough ideling and running at half power when warm. It goes into this mode the instant it thinks it's warm enough, it runs fine when cold. I've changed the fuel filter and distributor cap (rotor is in good shape). I've noticed the EHS drips gas and have replaced the green O rings and glued parts of it, including the two weep holes on the front. It is still damp with gas and still run's bad.
I've heard of the "limp home mode". Could that be what the car is doing? I'm wondering if a small leak from the EHA could cause this problem. Any suggestions? Should I keep glueing it?
