results for now...1987 300SE Euro
Hi
It has taken me a while to post these (regretfully) temporary results to my Rough Idle post..
Having read all your fine advice - I have gradually tried to address and correct the issue by process of elimination. ...
So far I have replaced fuel pump & Filter, OVP, Plugs , Wires, Rotor & Cap. I have cleaned the
Idle Valve(did not replace the hoses yet...) . Yesterday I finally had the Motor Mounts replaced - the right one was really shot - I am told that one goes first because of heat generated from the exhaust manifold. Driving away I was so hopefull that was it, until I got to the second light...
While I'm not sorry for a second of doing all the above - I have not cured the intermittent Rough Idle yet.
things are smoother, but still when slowing down to a stop , there is a distinct shudder or vibration before things calm down.
No problem with cold or hot start,runs great and doesn't leak too much oil on the garage floor....
Any new thoughts would be appriciated.
thanks
PS - I did have the sliding roof fixed by my local guy. they riveted the back rail into position after I talked them into doing it without ripping the whole interior roof of the car. A couple of hours later after adjusting cleaning and lubricating it works fine.
