What might be interesting if you still remenber what was the symptoms and what was the procedure you have follow to isolate the HES.

If you don't mind please take the time to fill the factsheet it will help all of us.

Thanks

The car is a 1989 300TE with the M103 engine. It currently has 208k miles. The problem, however, began at around 185k miles.

The engine would cut out as the car was coasting to a stop (either the foot off the gas or actually braking). There were no warning signs, no shakes, no hesitation. Just a complete cutting out--as if someone had reached in grabbed the key and turned the engine off.

The car would the restart immediately.

Because of how the car stalled (no hesitation) we thought it was an electrical problem. That narrowed the search.

My mechanic tried replacing a few things (which needed replacing anyway at that age). Finally he hit upon the HES and bingo!

You can do a search under my screen name for more details.
