92 190E Poor idle
1992 MB 190E 2.3 L
I have a 1992 190E that shakes at an idle. When I'm driving down the road the car is fine. But stopped and idling I can feel the car shake. Off idle it's OK. The head gasket was replaced before I got the car. Below is a list of the things I've checked. Does anyone know what the valve timing is supposed to be? The exhaust valve closing before TDC seems wrong to me? Engine mounts: OK Compression: All 160 psi Cylinder balance: even Ignition spark: OK wires, cap, rotor & timing adjust timing: 0 deg replace plugs: Bosche platinum Fuel System fuel sample: OK cold start valve: OK (line disconnected) system pressure: 80 psi lower chamber pressure: 74 psi (raises to 80 on decel) regulator current: 20 ma @ start up; + or - 1 @ warm idle temp sensor: 2.200 ohm @ 65 F; 300 ohm @ 170 F throttle switches: OK air meter: clean & free air meter position sensor: OK vacuum leaks: none decel switch: OK inspect injector spray: streams replace 4 injectors and seals remove throttle body and clean EGR system: valve OK; vacuum switch broken replace EGR thermal vacuum switch O2 sensor: low steady reading replace O2 sensor: varies .2v to .8v Charcoal canister purge valve: OK Cam timing: intake opens @ 18 deg BTC exhaust closed @ 4 deg BTC Thanks Jim |
