Hello,
I have my 1990 300SE back in the shop. It stalls when idling, especially
after warming up, usually at intersections, etc. The repair shop tells me
I need an Idle Speed Control Motor ($420) - installed for $510 - and an
EGR valve. The EGR valve is no problem for me. But the ISCM is a new one
on me. Is the ISCM different than the Idle Control Valve? Would it make
sense to get an ISCM from a salvage yard - or should I get a new one? Is
it something I could do myself?
Thanks,
Les

Yes, that's what they're really all about.
Even better is to climb a long grade at full throttle at redline.

Folks,
I'm running mostly WVO in my 82 300TD and i've found that i can wash
the inline filters out with dishwashing detergent and hot
water ....backwashing them ...... and allow them to dry thoroughly
and they are like new
the same can be done with the intank filters

The only time you should need to do that is if you routinely buy
seriously contaminated fuel OR the is debris in the tank that needs
to be cleaned out.

2006 tax return One time tax credit
http://money.CNN.Com/2006/05/25/news/telephonetax_refund/index.htm
A SPECIAL ONE TIME TAX CREDIT ON YOUR 2006 TAX RETURN
When it comes time to prepare and file your 2006 tax return, make sure
you don't overlook the federal excise tax refund credit.
You claim the credit on line 71 of your form 1040. A similar line will
be available if you file the short form 1040A.
If you have family or friends who no longer file a tax return AND they
have their own land phone in their home and have been paying a phone
bill for years, make sure they know about this form 1040EZ-T.
What is this all about? Well the federal excise tax has been charge to
you on your phone bill for years. It is an old tax that was assessed
on your toll calls based on how far the call was being made and how
much time you talked on that call.
When phone companies began to offer flat fee phone service, challenges
to the excise tax ended up in federal courts in several districts of
the country. The challenges pointed out that flat fee/rate phone
service had nothing to do with the distance and the length of the
phone call. Therefore, the excise tax should/could not be assessed.
The IRS has now conceded this argument. Phone companies have been
given notice to stop assessing the federal excise tax as of Aug 30,
2006. You will most likely see the tax on your September cutoff
statement, but it should NOT be on your October bill.
But the challengers of the old law also demanded restitution. So the
IRS has announced that a one time credit will be available when you
and I file our 2006 tax return as I explained above. However, the IRS
also established limits on how BIG a credit you can get. Here???s how
it works
If you file your return as a single person with just you as a
dependent you get to claim a $30 credit on line 71 of your 1040.
If you file with a child or a parent as your dependent, you claim $40.
If you file your return as a married couple with no children you claim
$40.
If you file as married with children you claim$50 if one child, $60 if
two children.
In all cases, the most you get to claim is $60.
UNLESS:If you have all your phone bills starting AFTER Feb 28, 2003
through July 31, 2006 (do not use any bills starting Aug 1, 2006.),
then you can add up the ACTUAL TAX AS IT APPEARS ON YOUR BILLS AND
CLAIM THAT FOR A CREDIT.
Now if you have your actual phone bills and come up with an ACTUAL TAX
AMOUNT, you cannot use line 71 on your tax return. You have to
complete a special form number 8913 and attach it to your tax return.
Individuals using the special from 1040EZ-T will have to attach this
form 8913 also.
One final point: this credit is a refundable credit. That means you
get this money no matter how your tax return works out. If you would
end up owing the IRS a balance, the refund will reduce that balance
you owe. If you end up getting a refund, the credit will be added and
you get a bigger refund by that $30 to $60 depending on how many
dependents are on your return.
Feel free to pass this on, make copies for family and friends who
don???t have computers.

Known failure part and was redesigned to remove something inside that
leaks with age. I replaced one in our E300D and am now chasing leaks
in other places. Seems to have been too much bad stuff in the BioD
eating rubber bits.
We never had the problem of starvation with that shut off valve leak.
I do have the issue with this leak after the car has sat for a few
days. No visible leaks to point the obvious places, so ....

I noticed the filter nut with the manual shut-off wet from diesel. Can
this
let the IP suck air in and be the reason or do I need to look some
where
else? All the fuel lines are tight and dry. I hate to buy a new manual
shut-off and it turns out some other problem.
