Re: [MBZ] Fw: Replacing Injectors(was Re:1985300SD NastyEngineVibration)
Replacing the motor and transmission mounts on my 87 SDL helped the vibration at idle immensely. I was timid about jacking up the engine at the oil pan to get enough clearance to slide in the new engine mounts so I pulled out the Harbor Freight foldable shop crane. In the past, Marshall has recommended using the Mercedes Parts for mounts as the aftermarket ones don't last as long. I did not know better at the time and used the cheap ones. They are working fine for now. Next time I'll use the good ones. -Dave Walton On 9/17/07, George Larribeau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Runs rough at idle extra noticeable when cold.

Runs rough at idle extra noticeable when cold. Seems to be happier above 1100 RPM or so This RPM is a bit higher when cold. It is better after I get it on the 'Freeway' it gets up to operating temperature. The idle speed could be a tad lower that I remember but it is, it would be a hair. When it is at it worst it makes the hood noticeably vibrate and there is a low frequency shaking. Some vibration induced buzzing noises inside the car. When I open the hood it doesn't appear to be visibly vibrating all that much. Does not take much throttle to get it to clear up (under load) I have not noticed a decrease in power however, subjectively it seems a bit weaker when cold but this is hard to determine. Nothing major here. There is a ramp I take off West I636 on to N I35E that it seems to act the same on as far as power. It is a place where I need to get from 35 - 40 to 70 plus. Does not seam any different here. It doesn't appear to smoke in ant unusual way. From a drivers perspective the only noticeable smoke I ever get from it is mainly noticeable at night where the headlights of cars behind reflect it. It does not emit any thing nasty and if I don't wash it for a while there is only a slight discoloration of soot on the bumper.

Re: [MBZ] Fw: Replacing Injectors (was Re:1985300SD NastyEngineVibration)
I replaced the injectors Saturday morning, to make a long story short it may have changed my perception of the behavior but it did not fix it. I have the old injectors that I took out, the core value on them is only $17 each so I am most likely going to look at having them serviced. Any tips??
