This is a problem that just started today: the temperature gage would slowly rise above the mark between 80 and 120 degrees, and once it got to a certain level the gage would jerk up and down above and below that white mark and at the same time the car would accelerate and decelerate as if I were pressing on the gas pedal and letting my foot off it in a rythmic motion once a second. This would occur with the A/C off or on, and I made sure that the cruise control was off. Although the car behaved much like a diesel with broken cruise. what could be causing this? I know warm temp around town means bad fan clutch and warm temp on the highway means bad radiator - this occured in mixted driving. And why the gage/erratic running connection? The motor doesn't run on any electrics, does it? This was happening between 30 and 60MPH.
Also, what would cause a strange wha-wha-wha-wha sound on acceleration ONLY in the first gear? Once the tranny shifts once the sound is gone? Thanks Greg, '83 300D |

WEIRD!! I would say that you may have some bad fuel or a bad ground in the elect. system causing the AC compressor to come on and off alot.

Could this possibly be caused by the EGR valve? The only difference between today and any other day is that I disconnected the EGR to elliminate a vacuum problem. Might doing this cause the car to run hot (lean)?
