Let us know whether this helps, by all means. On 2/20/07, Curt Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
My '85 190D is similar. I'd thought(or rather Marshall speculated) the problem was the vacuum actuated idle controller which would have been negatively effected by a failing vacuum pump. I'd also wondered if the plugged fuel tank vent might cause it. Now I know that both of those theories were wrong... When I called Rusty (well Tom sold me the stuff to give proper credit) I thought to buy new glow plugs too. Those will go in when the cold breaks. -Curt Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 11:33:26 -0500 From: "andrew strasfogel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Today's Puzzler To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed On my 1983 300TD I can start it as Marshal and Mercedes advise, but it dies almost immediately unless I depress the fuel pedal enough to keep the tach at 750 rpm. Hope to change the glow plugs once we thaw out a bit to see if that solves the problem. --------------------------------- Check out the all-new Yahoo!
