Not to mention the shock things on the manual trans models. On my 240D when the shock warmed up it would stick. The pedal would be hard to push and then would get stuck at mid throttle...
I had to spend a bunch of time under the hood disconnecting bits and seeing how it moved with this or that bit disconnected. -Curt Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:49:16 -0500 From: Loren Faeth <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Idle Speed Too Fast To: Mercedes Discussion List <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed You SURE it is set too fast? I'd bet a sticky or out of adjustment linkage or dirt/crud under the footfeed pedal. UNhook the linkages, and see how slow it will idle. There is a whole series adjustments for the swing tube diesel linkages including limiting the RPM at top speed. The OM621 has it in detail, and I think the 616 book does too. I have seen bound up bellcranks on the exhaust side of the engine, crud under the pedal. Rusty pedal hinges frm crud under the pedal, bunched up floormats and other stuff all cause stuck throttle//idle too fast. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
