Re: [diesel_mercedes] Idle rough at traffic lights

 

Rough idling is nearly always due to fuel delivery problems; like fuel filters/strainer, air getting in the system, maybe weak lift pump.

Mine idles roughly whenever the ambient air temps get over 85 degrees F.  Never quite figured out why.  Both of my engine shocks are bad, as are the engine shock mounts.

Anyone have an answer as to why my car idles rough while waiting on a traffic light?  With the remodel we didn't use the engine shocks. We'll have to do a special creation to use them.

Did I tell you that I broke down for 3 hrs in the WM parking lot?  Yeah, when I pulled in and put it in park it went in reverse!  The clip holding the shifter came off.

As soon as I got on the freeway my speedometer bounced once then went to zero where it's stuck.  Fun not knowing how fast your going. :(  For some reason I'm already followed by the local law enforcement, they seem fascinated by my car. I don't need to draw their attention.

Thanks.
