Would you be so kind as to post a list of all the OEM part #s for these sundry vacuum lines, et cetera?

Thank you, in advance!

I will put a list together of everything I replace. There might even be more as the weekend wears on.....

Just had to order a piece of hose ("plastic tube" in Mercedes speak)and 2 connectors, one for each end. $23 - but hey, if you need 'em you need 'em.

There was a thread regarding cleaning injectors with a tool at a ford dealer just recently. I asked my mechanic and was told that they have had limited success with cleaning these injectors....but he suggested I run 2 bottles of Techron thru the engine on an occasional basis.

I replaced most of my rubber hoses last spring, but did not look for damage in the plastic tube you described....(I will), but I did ask my tech about it and he thought the engine might register a code if it was subjected to a source of unmetered air.

My car does suffer from a surging/dying problem that seems to be very intermittent. I have replaced the wiring harness on the engine as well. It all started on the way to a Mardi Gras party last spring....It was fine for the 10 mile drive, but then freaked out and started bucking/surging when I was in bumper to bumper traffic trying to get a parking spot...

There are alot of variables in this equation, this collaboration site might be the only way we identify them and ultimately find the solution(s).

Best Regards
