The kickdown switch under the throttle pedal is probably stuck down. Negotiate a price, then pull it up with a pair of pliers. Rusty has replacements for around $30 IIRC. BTW, Thanks Kaleb for keeping this list alive...

Seller claims it's a "vacuum adjustment" that's needed, but I trust this guy as far as I can throw him. What's the real deal? Also, if said car hasn't been started in a few months (aka "sittin"), what do I need to do to get it started and running properly again? This is assuming it was running properly when it was last shut off. -- Sunil Hari 1984 MB 300D Turbo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 513-205-7474 _______________________________________ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] For new parts see www.buymbparts.com For repairs see www.oldworldauto.com To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
