89 W126 EHA Valve Replacement - SPEED Problem car will not go over 30mph
WITH out warning one night my car 89 420sel 161000 miles decided to give me a little holiday suprise when stopped at a red light making a left. I hit the gas, and it sputtered and barely made it to 25 mph. The highway is a 55mph + road, so I parked it at a strip mall.
Lately I noticed a gas smell, we searched and searched, took off the air manifold and saw that something near the fuel distributor was wet. Sure enough it was gas. Searched around on the internet, and found that it could just be the seals, replaced those, returned and bought the unit.
I bought the unit, replaced it... I DID NOT unhook the battery... Forgot... It fixed the leak, but the car still will not exceed 30 - 40mph?
So again... poked around on the internet and saw a post that some units had the wiring backwards. Is this my problem? Will it fix the 30mph?
I am confused.
