300 sd low power
hi i'm new to the site and the mercedes world. i just got a 1984 300sd and was wondering are all 300s this slow? mine is a total slug till about 20 mph.
even in park if i rev it up it takes 2 or 3 seconeds to rev to 2000 rpm. once its above 2000 rpm it go's to 5000 quick. i checked my fuel psi to the inj. pump and had 1 psi so i put a elect. pump on it and brought the psi. to 5 it's a little better but still very tricky to try and drive in heavy traffic. dose anyone know what the fuel psi should be at the inj. pump? thanks. jason |

Welcome to the forum! I'm not one of the more knowledgeable ones on here, but... I have an '83 300SD, and I know when my fuel filters are clogged up mine is really sluggish... So are your fuel filters clean? I have no idea on your psi question, but I'd say check the filters...

do check your ALDA line coming out of the back of your cylinder head. chances are your line is clogged with soot which is fairly common . may never have been cleaned on your car. Do a search under ALDA and you should find instructions for cleaning. The previous post was correct also, clean fuel filters make a huge difference!

ALDA? is this the line that goes from the back of the intake to the top of the inj.pump?
it's got a new filter on it also. thank you once again. jason |

Yes, remove that line and check that it isn't blocked up. Check all the way from the injection pump, to the protection solenoid, to the intake. Also look for leaky hoses or connections.

Then the solenoid is your problem. Normally air should pass through. When it is grounded (through the pressure sensor on the intake) it closes and prevents boost from getting to the injection pump.
Take it off the car and spray some carb cleaner through it. Actuate it a couple times to be sure it works properly. You want the protection system working. -Jason

air will pass through the solenoid if i put power and ground to it.
dose the psi sensor on the intake ground the circuit untill it reaches max psi? or dose it keep the circuit open untill max psi? |
