Howdy Mike, Did you know you can't put smilies in a topic? I just found out.

I have repaired the odometer, and it is turning normally. I wish it was that, and I appreciate the input. I have a really normal driving schedule, and I just filled up a few days ago, and drove to only a few places, and ended up at a quarter of a tank. I thought maybe the fuel gauge had gone crazy, so I filled up again and was 6 gallons lower. I normally can drive "forever" before the needle even moves. I think my car is drinking too much. My injectors seem loud too.

Do I have an EGR valve??? I don't think they started using an EGR system until 1980.

I will check my switchover valve. That is a good suggestion, perhaps it has failed. I had a fuse blow recently, after starting the car, maybe there is a connection. Would a failed switchover valve cause the injection pump to deliver too much fuel?

I am out of alignment, even though I have had two alignments in the last 2 years. It is so hard to find a good alignment shop for a Mercedes.
