Brought home a 85 300SD yesterday. Has 129K on it. Paid 1500 bucks. Starting to go throught it, been sitting for 3 years. Changed fuel filters and doing oil/ air today. Major lack of power and hard shifts. Will start looking at vac lines. This looks to be a CA car as it has the trap filter below the turbo ??
Can I "gut" the trap so it's just a wide spot in the system?
Any pointers are sure welcome. As this is all new to me. Lots of good info and talant here on this site. Thanks everyone. Will order service CD's or books soon.
And what's the little micro switch on top of the valve cover do?
