Car: 300TE (wagon) 1988
Miles: 203,000
Here is the problem; The car has done this several times, which makes it even stranger. She will "bog" down all of a sudden, while running fine just moments before. With the pedal either half down or to the floor, she sputters, bucks and can only make about 20-mph, the only way I was able to get her home was to slip her into neutral at ever stop sign, keep the revs up and then do a neutral drop. If I shut it down when it starts this, and then restart her, she will run normally but not for too long. I am thinking Fuel Pump or Fuel Filter, but if it was the filter wouldn't it do this all the time? I need to fix this so ANY suggestions would be appreciated, the last time it did this I was merging on to the express way, and cars going 60 sure do not like a car in front of them going 20!
