for the listing or not. If I paid for the listing up to this posting being
Now very helpful but for yours I'd be disappointed with the response.
Knowledge is power - This list has gotten alot of readers who think that
they are too important to share their knowledge-REMEMBER THE REASON THIS

Kaleb, Your reply in the list was uncalled for: *Even in the opinion of
other listers*. I was a member of this list years ago and I remember the
purpose of the listing. It was an honor to be accepted to it and all were
welcome
Maybe in my responses I have gotten the listers names wrong and I aplogize
for that. My responses have been directed to the one lister who has taken
inconvienence with being of assistance to me. Kaleb, It is the way the
listing shows on my computer that led me to believe it was you. If that

I have a '93 300E 2.8 that has failed emissions. While I was at emissions
testing I ran into a person who has a 88 300E that also failed. He was told

the air intake that if you turn it backwards it will lean the mixture.

check a catalytic converter to see if it is working or not? I am about to
check for vacume leaks and change the 02 sensor. While I am at it is there
any preliminary checks I can do?

I have a 1993 300E 2.8 with about 122,000 miles on it. It recently went for
NJ emissions testing and failed. My HC tested at 150 instead of 100. I am
