@Simon -

Bog - Action: Push accelerator Result: RPM's and vehicle speed reduce.

We'd have to then accelerate very gently to build speed again.

@73E - They pulled them from a Quad II.

Right on!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, car got worse soon after this post. We had it looked at again and it was narrowed down to "likely" be the ETA. So, I sent the ETA to 4Mercedes, who had rebuilt it over 3 years ago. They checked it, said the motor was bad, rebuilt it, including new cable/harness and sent it back. Installed today and it runs worse than ever.

Can't do much over 30. If I put my foot into it, it goes into limp home. Barely made it home. 25 MPH on freeway, stalled crossing busy intersection.

So....

Does it need to be reset after installing the ETA? Could the throttle module be bad?

Signed,

Very, very frustrated in Austin

I had something similar and brought it to 2 Mb tech till we found out it was the coils.

Prolly easy enough to pull and see if there is white arcing on it before you spend any money

Can you tell me, where are the coils?
