Evening everyone,

So I usually don't drive my 190E 2.6 on the weekends, I like to get the other cars some time on the road but I had to move the 2.6 today and I started it up and It was NOT happy at all. The idle was just a hair above 500 on tach. It made a real low kind of "misfire" noise. I just gassed it up Friday night and drove it around town (some stores I had to run to) and everything was fine.

I am including this video to see if you guys can tell if anything is amiss. I know you wont be able to see anything but the audio should be pretty smooth.

Last week I had some idle problems too, I took it to the shop and the darn thing wouldn't even cough. Everything ran as smooth as it has in the past. They pulled the OVP relay and found some corrosion at the pins, but that was it. It had rained pretty good that week too just as it did this past weekend. So perhaps some water got into the OVP and corroded some parts of it, i'm not sure. I would like to pull it and take it a part see if theres any internal problems...

I checked all the fluids, everything looked good. The oil needs changed (I'm 50 miles over 3k) but coolant was clean no oil or anything.
Here's the Video:

Hope you guys can help! Thanks for reading,

Kris
