QuestionHi whunter,
I have a 1985 Mercedes 380SL.
1. When it runs over 40mph then I need to use the brake and release the accelerator pedal. The RPM drops and the engine dies sometimes. Especially when I try to get off the freeway.
2. When I use the brake to slow down before the stop light then try to let it idle cruise to the front car. The engine will surge untill it stops fully.
I have replaced the following:
idle control module
idle control valve
water temperature sensor
fuel pump relay.
Please help and have a greate New Year. Thanks.
Chester
