Thanks guys,

you know how people think that the dealer knows best. the funny part is that the bill was after a %10 discount because she is driving a 'vintage'. they also give her a loner vehicle and she is a very busy person.....( i told her you paid for the loner!!)

the parts that were changed are regular maintenance parts that should not cost that much in any way. I told her about Steve Brotherton's shop before, she said she take it there next time (once she recovers from the $2500 bill)....

so, i want to diagnose this problem, but my experience thus far has been with the 104 engine and HFM ignition on my car...

can you tell me what EHA stands for so that i could look it up the mercedes manual. i will give it a shot and see.....

so fuel pump/pumps are not the culprit in your opinions? I was thinking injectors also, but i thought those would be more of a misfire situation as opposed to an overall lose of power....

more opinions are welcome, thanks
