[MBZ] OT - Sub Human
The other day youngest boy borrows the SDL to go to his swim meet. He comes home to inform me that there were some interior parts no attached. Turns out some troubled sub human has broken into (maybe the door was not locked?) and absconded with my driving glasses, the contents of the glove box, and, oddly, the mannequin, situated in the passenger seat who was wearing a DDR police uniform. I am really unhappy the glasses are missing. That, and the owner manual package. clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1986 SDL - Polei 1982 300 SD - Allen retired models- 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored crap 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] My 91 300D Rear Hub etc.
car-part.com Larry Turner via Mercedes wrote: Hi Guys, for a change things are looking up. I tried to start the subject 300D and found the battery was dead and refused to take a charge. It was bought in 2014 and had almost 1000 CCA's but dead is dead. So I went into my garage (slowly as usual on my walker) ;-) and found the battery that had been in my 78 240D still had an acceptable amount of Volts in it so after a quick charge for good measure, I removed the old battery and installed the even older battery - it had been bought in 2010 and even after sitting in my garage for pushing 4 years (IIRC) it was "alive"! (As in "Young Frankenstein") Once connected it fired on the 1st compression stroke. It really amazed me! Even after not being started since late Dec 2017. The next step is to get a state inspection and while there I'll ask if I can take some photos of the supposed rust damage my Indy told me about. I can then post the photos and get your opinion. They're busy today so maybe Monday? Then, depending on what we find, I will want to repair the rear wheel bearing on the starboard (r) side. As suggested by those of you more knowledgeable than me, I am considering replacing the bearing/hub carrier completely and not going to the trouble of having the old bearing replaced (since I would still have to R the hub). So, to (finally) get to my point, does anyone have any spare right side hubs they would like to part with? Timing is not critical - we have the Explorer to drive for now. But I am hoping we can use the MB for everyday driving and save the Explorer for trips to the range. Anyone have one or know where I might find a hub? I have been putting out feelers to recyclers looking for hubs and only got one specific reply. Besides, I like options. ;-) Thanks gang!

Re: [MBZ] 1986 300E Ignition Resistor?
Good stuff! Thanks Peter! Even though I don't have a vergasser, I might again sometime in the future. Other than the M116, I have been fortunate enough to get rid of them before I had to do major work. Peter Frederick via Mercedes wrote: Cuts out and backfires could easily be an over-rich condition, too. Or bad plug wires. Or a leaking airflow sensor to throttle body leak. Your symptoms tell me that the system cannot manage the fuel mixture when it comes out of cold running open loop mode. When it goes into feedback loop mode, the mixture goes way over rich or way over lean and the engine dies. I've fished around on these systems for a long time (since 1980), they have to be vacuum leak free, the charcoal cartridge for the vapor recovery system has to be in good shape, the fuel pumps have to be right with a good fuel filter, and the airflow meter must be clean and moving properly. You must also have a good fuel distributor plunger seal (or fuel drips into the intake) and good injectors. Great system when it works, but it can take a while to get it right when it acts up. I would do the following: Check for intact fuel injector seals, both on the injector and on the plastic insert they sit in. Check for leaking or split idle control valve hoses. Check for leaks on the boot between the fuel distributor/air meter and the throttle body, they shrink and crack with age. Verify a clear exhaust. Check the oxygen sensor (a prime suspect, actually, since it acts like it's going out of control in closed loop mode). Check the connector for the oxygen sensor under the right front carpet -- a spilled soda or a window left open can cause liquid to collect on the plug and corrode it. It's under the secondary padding. Check fuel pressures -- if the mechanic doesn't know what you are talking about, you need a different mechanic, he's just fishing in the dark. Base pressure, upper and lower chamber pressures, differential drop across the fuel distributor. Check the electrohydraulic regulator on the rear of the fuel distributor, they leak when they are bad. Will also not control differential pressure properly. Make sure it's plugged in Mine stalled and backfired while trying to start it when I had a bad fuel pump -- on the TE they are in series so one bad makes it refuse to run.. Sedans are in parallel. Check for a clogged or smashed fuel line -- will show up as low fuel pressure. Make sure the charcoal canister vent is not clogged -- it's the right size for a mud dauber to build a nest in. Will result in serious suction on the tank as there will be no air vent. Also verify that the canister is not fuel soaked, as it is cleared when the engine warms up. Sucking liquid gasoline down the intake from a flooded canister will stall it.
