Low/Rough Idle 1992 300E

[jpmpuck]

Hey guys. I just bought a 1992 300e with about 96,000 miles on it. It sometimes idles at around 500rpm and feels like it's about to stall out. I read a few threads down about the OVP, but the ABS light is not on. Could this be another sensor?

Another symptom of this car is that it will accelerate very slowly off the start, at 35, 45, and 65mph. When I hit these speeds the car will stop accelerating and I have to push harder to get it to respond again. When this first happened I thought I got bad gas, so I refueled but the problem persists.

Last but not least, the instrument gauges aren't backlit and neither is my console. Not too big a deal, but it would still be nice to see my speedometer at night. I checked the fuses. How do I get to the bulbs that light everything up?

Thanks in advance.
