I'll second that. On my trip to Albuquerque last month, I was loosing
about 5mph on the WEAK Oklahoma hills between here and Ok City. Changed
the fuel filter in Amarillo (to a cheap Autozone American filter) and
the problem was solved.

When it gets weak at high RPM it usually indicates that something
is getting choked. Clogged cat, fuel filter, etc. In the case
of our 250C, one of the two carbs' throttle linkages fell off and
it
As a side note, this is a pressure line, not a vacuum line - it can be
plugged, but will test fine if you pull a vacuum on it with the
mityvac. Note the clamps on the ends.

Peter is bang on. That is the very same condition my SDL had. Turned
out to be a plugged tubing from the manifold to the solenoid. Easy and
cheep fix.
Try a trial run with the tube disconnected.

Danny,
I'll give you another direction--restricted fuel supply, probably a dirty
final filter cannister. Lots cheaper!

You need to clean out the line running from the ALDA on top of the IP,
to the overboost switch on the firewall, to the port on the side of the
intake. You may need to bypass the switch, at lest as a test to see if
its bad or not.

I'll 3rd that -- the boy's 300SD had that exact problem on our first
road trip, wish I had a mobile email device with me as Marshall
diagnosed it within 15 min of posting the problem.

Check the hose from the center of the intake manifold to the
overboost protection solenoid on the left shock tower and to the
ALDA. It must hold pressure when you blow into it. The hoses go bad
and leak, also the solenoid can fail and vent when not energized.
If the boost system is OK, you
Hi
As a long time lurker on the list, i have a problem that i can't seem to solve
that i need input on.
The car is a 124 300d with 337K miles. it runs great and is aside from a tranny
