It is all sort of confusing.

OK...bump.

I would like any member who owns a 1989 vintage E series Benz, with the M103 engine, to check and see if yours has the air temperature sensor (or air intake pressure sensor) attached to the intake cowl.

I am sorry that the pics that I posted are so tiny, but the sensor is located by the air intake cowl, right before the cowl goes into the air cleaner housing.

For ease of reference, and clarity, I have attached a link to the MB Repair CD. The sensor is item No.: B17/2.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

PS: Also read the notes that state that in pre-1986 vehicles, the sensor MUST BE retrofitted.

Thanks in advanced.
