David,

My understanding is the 84 and 85 500SL was not manufactured in the US and all are imported from Europe. Am I wrong?

This particular car came from Houston and I have the paperwork that was submitted to DOT on the conversion. This car also has the European VIN.
Regardless, I just checked and mine has the silver valve covers instead of black. Didn't pull the air cleaner though.

FYI, I previously bought several parts off of another '85 500SL w/56,000 miles on it. Among those parts was an ignition control module. When this problem started many weeks ago I replaced the ignition control module with the one I bought. No change, so I assume the problem is not in the unit.

Were you pointing to the Ignition Control Module, or headed in a different direction? Thanks for your interest in helping me out!!!
