Intermittent no shut-off on W123
I have experienced on several occasions where the engine would not shut-off due to a vacuum leak and I have been able to to repair the problem. My experience is that it was always a door lock actuator and once the vacuum problem started it remained until it was fixed. This time my 1981 300D is the car with the no shut-off problem, however, it is intermittent and rare. When it does happen it will shut-off if I lock the doors. This cues me that it is a door lock actuator, however, I am baffled as to why it would not be constant. Could there be another culprit? Has anyone else experienced intermittent no shut-off on W123?

If locking the doors eliminates the problem, the chances are pretty good that you have a leak somewhere in the "unlock" circuit. |

Could be anywhere in the unlock circuit. When I had a similar problem, I found the problem was a crack in the hard plastic line where it exits the driver's door and goes into pillar. A bear to fix. Cut the line and put on a rubber connector.
