Danny, I'll give you another direction--restricted fuel supply, probably a dirty final filter cannister. Lots cheaper! Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 265 K miles 98 ML 320, 157 K miles 94 Bravada, 190 K miles

The car is a 124 300d with 337K miles. it runs great and is aside from a tranny rebuild at 225K has had no unusual repairs. At the moment it appears to have a turbo boost engagement problem. (??) when driving on level ground it will cruse at the normal 75mph but acceleration is slow and the rpm doesn't go above 2500, it shifts OK both up and down. However going up hills it looses all power and when pushed to 3000 rpm it actually loses speed! It does not kick into "turbo mode" and continue to accelerate - but the overdrive kick down is working. I have checked all the vacuum lines with a mityvac and find nothing blocked or dead, all connections are OK and there are no cracked hoses or torn rubber junctions. Service is up to date for fluids and filters.... **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos.
