1990 300E 2.6 idles fine, runs rich at 2500 rpm
I have a 1990 300E 2.6 and I have recently gotten it running great. I replaced almost everything under the sun, air flow meter assembly, distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, idle micro switch by the throttle linkage, coolant temp sensor, o2 sensor, cold start valve, injectors and seals, air filter, check valve, fuel pump, idle control valve, and fixed multiple vacuum leaks. While idling, it runs at a perfect 45-50% lambda, but when I accelerate up to 2500-3k rpms, it starts to drop slowly down to 10% and holds there. I have tried 2 different ECUs, 2 different EHA's, plugged off the cold start valve, loosened 2 injector lines at once while running, and tried a different distributor. After doing all of that, it still idles perfect but runs rich at 10% while at 2500 rpms. I did get codes 5 and 11 today, which I believe are O2 sensor (5) and air injection system (11) which i have the air injection unplugged because it is noisey. I have already replaced the O2 sensor with an OEM part, which by the way, everything I have replaced was all from mercedes OEM. Please help as I am stuck. Thanks a lot.
