'94 E500 Unable to rev above 3500 RPM
 

I have an '94 E500 with 140k Miles (Superchip/K&N's/17" AMG monoblocks) mostly stock in immaculate shape - all bodywork perfect and a brand new radiator and A/C system after a minor fender-bender justified a BIG insurance claim ;)

A week after I got my car back from having all the cosmetics and the cooling systems replaced, the engine got very ill... When I kick-down or rev up to 3500 RPM, the engine becomes shakey and burps and misses on all cylindars, it seems, and after I let go the accelerator, it continues to shimmy and burp for at least 20 seconds, which makes me think the engine has become flooded?

I am guessing that the Catalytic converters are still ok, so I am thinking wiring harness/plugs/distributors may be shot?

Anyone else have an opion or advice?

Thanks in advance,

Did they disturb your wire harness while making repairs?Check for deteriorating insulation on the wires. All 93 -95 124 cars had this harness problem. Have your local MB dealer do a VMI report on your VIN to see if the harness has been replaced.If it was disturbed during repairs , good chance it's bad.
