Max, if you are one of the thousands who are having and up close and personal relationship with the H1N1 virus, you are considered contagious for at least a day, and perhaps two days, after the fever goes away. You might want to check with the company about returning. My wife might have had it, and she went to work and had the manual tossed to her from ten feet away, and was sent back home. If it was the H1N1 it was quite mild with only a very low fever that only lasted a few hours. There are some advantages in not being young and healthy these days. BillR

Daughter was fever-free days ago, so today Mom took her to dance/play group, and I had a few hours to work on my 'new' '95 E300D. Decided to start taking off all the stuff above the injection pump, which the book says needs to be removed in order to replace the IP timer (which was chewed up by the failed vacuum pump). I found that the wires at the connectors for the controller for the intake butterfly-valves are devoid of insulation and clearly shorting out. The CarFax for this car had a repair entry indicating that the engine wiring harness had been replaced, so I was surprised to find this. Need to look at more sections of the wiring harness to see what's going on. This wiring problem would explain some of this car's lack of power. Also found two vacuum lines disconnected, one for the fuel shut-off and not sure what the other is for. Going surprisingly well so far, but I'll have to label/record all the vacuum and electrical connections for the injection pump. Removal of the intake manifold and cross-over pipe were pretty straight forward. I spent about 1.5 hours, taking my time.
