Good morning,
First thanks to you guys for taking the time to read my long post, sorry for my english, this is a second language for me.
Iluvmils, may I borrow your guy in a wheelchair for my signature? I love it.
I'm impress by your signature, a lot of experience under your belt.
20 years for the same dealership.
I know what that mean, I've been working 23 years for the same dealership, Over the years I meet some really good mechanic but I meet a lot of grease monkey too and some of those guys will never learn troubleshooting even if they stay in the trade all there life.

wow-good catch. being in the business, we are not allowed to take as much time as you have, but, your experience will teach me and others in what to do with another stalling problem.

Porkface, I understand what you mean, but with all the MB tech here on the forum, we should have more Case Solved story, let share your experience guys. Sharing what you learn will not take it away from you believe me. It will only moved you to an other level.

Your motor looks really sludgy in there though
|
PawoSD, just an illusion the motor is pretty clean in fact, keep in mind this motor operate in extreme condition going from -20C° sometime below that, to warm engine at 80C° within 15 minutes after the start. This is a lot of stress, over the year I saw motor building a lot of condensation in the valve cover, giving you a kind of white slush in there.

BTW, is it my imagination or is your air intake duct loose from the front of the air cleaner box?

Cal, no everything is fine, this is the way it fit.

On mine 1988 there are hoses go to air intake and the second on intake manifold. Which one precisely have you cleaned?
|
cc260e, refer to the photos at the beginning of this post, there is 2 outlets on my valve cover one big (about 3/4inch) and a small one (about 3/8inch). The small one is the one with the orifice pre-size inside, again make sure you clean it with a small drill .080inch, this hole could be completely blocked or just partialy blocked. Keep in mind this orifice does not go from .080inch to .000inch over night it get glogged with time. Do the drill test it's like a go-no-go gauge.
