Stalling probs with 92 300E - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I'm not sure anyone here is interested in helping a newbie, or I'm just a bit vague on the symptoms. Maybe its because I mentioned my MG.
I was just hoping that someone with some experience with these older 300E's had run into the same problem. I'm not really excited about throwing hundred dollar bills at it to replace parts that may or may not have any effect on the problem. Mine feels like fuel pump related dying, but I'm not familiar enough with the injection system to diagnose it.
We can only wait, and rely on the generosity of strangers

Rufus, we welcome everyone here, even MG drivers.

Sometimes people are two busy to respond to these kinds of questions. Especially if you post in the middle of the week, you kow work and all of that. During the weekends the number of posts, with helpful answers, usually goes up.

Regarding your specific problem do you know whther yoru engine is the M103 or the M104. It makes a difference because, for example, many M103 engines experienced a stalling, or cutting out, condition. I have a 1989 300TE with the M103 engine and it developed a stalling condition. After much research, my mechanic hit upon a solution.

He replaced the Hall Effect Sensor and voila, no more stalling.

That, however, may not be your problem.

So this is what I suggest:

Use the search feature of this forum and type in a few kewy words like "w124" + "stalling" or "300e" + "stalling" and you will get a large number of "hits." Review the threads and see if the problems described in those other threads match your problem. Maybe their solutions will help.

If you type, for example, "300te" + "stalling" you will run into the threads that I started regarding my own experiences.

Check it out and see if the info helps you.

if not, come back and ask more questions, someone will help you figure it out.

Good luck.
