I am con-fuddled. The engine works just great. Lights off, but put it in gear, the engine locks up and dies. Neutral switch is good, as it will not allow starting in gear, only N and P. I needed to move the car and was able to rev it then pop into gear to get it to grunt and roll a bit, then die. Just like popping the clutch in a manual. I was able to start and pop, move, die enough times to get it backed into the driveway.
While on the jack stands the reverse function was spinning the rear wheels, not under load. Under load it just dies. w115 300D Any bright mechanically/ transmission smart fellow able to point me in the right direction? I have been scouring the interwebs for a few hours and it all relates to modern electronic transmissions. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
