Ignition and fuel system are in good shape..Exhaust system will be changed! (I'm going to sweden! half the price! I believe Norway is
the most expensive country in the world for a car owner!
I belive that the cat. is the most plausible cause of my problems!
Before I got the car, it was used only on short trips! max 5-10km!
If terminating/changing the cat. doesn't work, compression test and double-checking both fuel pumps are next on the list!
(And at last, when everything is working properly, an ASR defeat switch)
Back to rebuilding the air intake:
A member of the MB club I'm in has had a dyno run of his E280 (M104) after making the same modifications I'm considering!
