[MBZ] Hesitation through Cascade Mountains 190D
We took little Goldie to wine country this weekend for Release Weekend (Walla Walla). Had a great time tasting much wine and buying too many bottles. But over the mountains, I was surprised to find the thing hesitating in that pulsating fashion I have observed before on the hill near our house. The Revs were not surging thankfully, so I rule out tranny. I think that probably what I attributed to the transmission one night as I ascended our steep road was not the trans. This is terrific news!! It seems the hesitation begins at about 3500 rpms. At first I had the wife shift down to 3, but I realized this did not add any power and in fact made things worse because it seemed to dislike the higher rpms. Also, and this is weird, the wife claimed she felt the throttle pushing back at her foot as the power surged on and off. I didn't feel that as we drove home over the mountains. Fortunately Goldie did not break down on us - just slowed us a bit and worried us a bit. So I'm guessing we need to replace the fuel filters?

Re: [MBZ] Hesitation through Cascade Mountains 190D
By the way, I have been meaning to update my reporting of our fuel mileage since I changed the thermostat: We had one disappointing tank at 29.x mpg. Since then we have had a pleasing 34 or 35 mpg tank. A recent one was 33.x The driving on all this has been probably 70 - 75% highway. And the tankfull during which we climbed over the mountains and had the hesitation problems was 32.x. It included some liberal use of the throttle on some country dirt roads after some wine tasting.

Re: [MBZ] Hesitation through Cascade Mountains 190D
to wine country this weekend for Release Weekend (Walla Walla). Nummy! Lotsa _very_ good wine in that area. We're headed down in a week or so. (Not sure if wine will be involved or not.) It seems the hesitation begins at about 3500 rpms. At first I had the wife shift down to 3, but I realized this did not add any power and in fact made things worse because it seemed to dislike the higher rpms. Fuel filters! Also, and this is weird, the wife claimed she felt the throttle pushing back at her foot as the power surged on and off. I didn't feel that as we drove home over the mountains. That could just be the engine rocking back and forth and telegraphing back through the pedal a bit. So I'm guessing we need to replace the fuel filters? Yepparooney. There's a small chance that it could be the pickup screen in the tank too, but start with the accessible stuff first. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] 603 stumbles
Where is this oil line from the block to the pump? I just finished the bottle of Power Service - will get more. I would make sure the oil pressure line is flowing oil to the injector pump. It has a very small orifice where it comes off the block and could be plugged. Also consider the new low sulfur diesel is a little weak in it's lubricating abilities and an additive may be needed to prevent the occasional sticking plunger. Loves truck stop has the best deals on two or 3 brands of diesel fuel additive, tho any good parts store will have some. I quart treats about 150 gallons, so you don't need much.

Re: [MBZ] Feeling blue over trying to be green
Just watched a Modern Marvels show on corn. The ethanol corn is being genetically manipulated to produce more starch to better procure more energy than is needed to make the stuff. Might be ok for food crops, but is hybridized to be a fuel crop. Just because it is corn and makes ethanol, does not mean it is all used up. All the left over mush is very rich in protein and oils. This distillers waste is prime animal feed, so there is extended use of the product into nice little steaks, chicken strips and bacon. It may not be feeding all the poor little black people in africa, but it is fully used. And the food price thing is a hoax. If there were such a huge need for corn here, we could just reduce the excess corn we have going to all the poor folks in africa and elsewhere. Bound to be whole ships full of that stuff could be better used here to make corn flakes and high fructose corn syrup.

Re: [MBZ] Feeling blue over trying to be green
The big issue is not local forests or grasslands being denuded, but that we are going into the amazon and asian rain forests and planting soy and palm oil crops. Well, not we, but the locals in those areas are using their land in a manner best suited to increasing their economies. This then is shipped to america where it is made into fuel or pig feed. The quote that the palm oil produced by Imperium is being sent to Europe is fallacious. The plant in Grays Harbor is actually producing 100 million gallons of B100 for use by consumers within 500 miles. Unless there are a few grey ships headed to europe that are not nuke powered, this is the only way that B100 is headed to the old world. clay On 5 May 2008, at 04:47, Mitch Haley wrote: I think they are stretching things quite a bit: The reason is that it takes land to grow fuel. That inevitably leads to the destruction of forests and grasslands, the studies say. When was the last time you heard of somebody clear-cutting land so they could grow soybeans and corn? Do these people have any idea how much cropland the government is currently paying farmers to not grow crops on? Or is that what they mean by grasslands? 60 acres of those grasslands were bought by my family 30 years ago as croplands. Since then, I've seen it used as cropland, hayfields, pasture, and now wild grasses. The local wildlife (especially deer, pheasant, and turkey) liked it best when it was planted in corn. These days they sleep in the grass and do a lot of their eating in the neighbors' corn. I'm not sure how large the deer herd would be without hunting pressure. We had 30 cattle and 25-30 deer 15 years ago, now we have 15-20 deer. Clearly, land that can support 30 or more cattle could easily support 100 deer, but that sort of deer population (1000 deer per square mile) would quickly be deemed a nuisance.

There are few things more foolish or wasteful than the grass lawn. Because a grass lawn is a monoculture with the majority of ecological niches vacant, it requires a great deal of human effort (and petrochemicals) to maintain. And for what? Every week, the suburbanoids come forth with their riding mowers to harvest their grass lawn crop, mowing it down. But they have no use for what they harvest, it goes into (petrochemical based) garbage bags and is sent off to the landfill. An outside observer would have to conclude that we are all daft. If a whole suburban neighborhood rose up against the tyranny of the lawn, and planted their yards and medians with a diverse and full ecosystem with fruit trees and bushes, perennial veggies, grapevines, and edible groundcovers, how much of their food needs would they meet? They would probably be only a few chickens and goats away from complete food security.

[MBZ] brake light in the dash on 115 300D
I already posted this earlier on banned so some of you may have seen it. I have banned on the computer at home and the main list on the one at the office so the two never meet. In any event, one of the things that I have been advised to do by the list, is to change the brake fluid. I had the rear wheels off on Saturday so I bled the back brakes. The old fashioned way - my wife sat in the car and pressed the brake pedal when I asked her to and let it up when I asked her to while I opened and closed the bleed valves. I tried to drain the resevoir down pretty good in order to get new fluid in, and then bled it again. I have not yet done the front wheels. In any event, I have now created an issue as the brake light will not go out on the dash. I have looked at the owner's manual and it tells me that the light will come on if the fuid is low or if the brakes are leaking. I have also looked through the cd service manual and it comments in a similar fashion but does not tell me how to re-set once the light is on. I note that there is a switch on the resevoir and I assume there is a float attached to some sort of rod on the back part of the resevoir under the little rubber cap. I have pushed up down on that a couple of times in the hope that it would pop back up. The resevoir appears to be full of fluid. I have also rapped on the side of the resevoir with a screw driver handle to no avail. The brakes appear to be normal so I do not think it is telling me anything but has been triggered by my intervention and is stuck on. I drove the car to Grand Forks, North Dakota and back on Monday - about 250 miles round trip at highway speeds. Vibration has not corrected my problem as I hoped it might. So, I am about to look closer. I just wondered if anyone had experienced this and had any sage words of advice. Randy By the way - it ran real nice on the highway. 4 of us in the car and the trunk full on the way home. It did not seem to mind 70 mph and I had to keep backing off as I would have ended up going 80 mph. Driving them is obviously good for them as I do not think it would have done that when I got it. That was about 7K miles ago and some of that has been highway travel so I appear to have cleaned out the carbon. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] 603 stumbles
my 91 300D acted like that when cold - when it started blowing white smoke it would barely move. I replaced all GPs and found the GP Relay was faulty. Then I found I had a lot of carbon build up. Bought some additive caller Ferox (google it) - several treatments of that along with my wife's long distance commute and it eventually cleared up. Now it gets 29-32mpg which must be attributible to fuel differences and perhaps driving style. As others suggested, replace the GPs and check the relay - should be staying on when cold for ~90 seconds.

Those little floats sometimes sink. Also, can you see fluid on the rear chamber of the reservoir? It can be difficult to fill the rear sometimes, you have to overflow the front side into the rear, although I don't think that particular one is really bad. Try unplugging the sensor wires -- if the light goes out, the switch it stuck, the float is sunk, or, as in my brother's 300D, it fell off the pin and is not floating beside it! You will have to remove the cap that holds the sensor in, and I don't remember if it pries off or screws off. And don't forget that the parking brake uses the same lamp.

The first Macintosh with 64 bit processor was the Power Mac G5 released in June of 2003, oddly enough the first x86 64 bit mainstream processor, the AMD64 Opteron, was also released in 2003, April 2003. The Power Mac G4 with AltiVec Velocity Engine claimed to be 64 bit, but in reality ran dual channel 32 bit processes. However, Leopard is the first Mac OS to be fully 64 bit aware. All before Leopard have only had 64 bit areas that allowed certain apps, but not others, to run at a 64 bit level. Some people who know the inner workings better than I are saying that even Leopard isn't 100% 64 Bit, and in reality it can't be if it is able to run on a 32 bit G4 processor. The reason it is odd that both Apple and the Wintel world introduced 64 bit processors in 2003 is because the first 64 bit processor was IBM 7030 Mainframe, released in 1961.

Re: [MBZ] brake light in the dash on 115 300D
I believe there is fluid in the back part of the resevoir. I have also thought about unplugging the sensor wires and testing for continuity on the resevoir pins. I also wondered if unplugging might reset something but probably not as this is pretty basic system and not a new computerized gizmo. I don't think it is likely to be the parking brake as that part has worked flawlessly for the past 3 summers. I am assuming it is just the float sticking or the contacts not being clean. The cd manual says the sensor is not removable so I guess that I may have to probe inside with a piece of wire to see if I can make the float move. There is a rubber cap over the sensor float rod and I assume it just pries off. I was a bit leery of doing so for fear that it might then need the shoegoo treatment. I wondered if that part was available if needed. I like to avoid messing with old rubber parts like that. Will start trying some things. So far, I have mostly just looked at it and thought about it which has been alright because the brakes work fine and I know it is just the sensor contacts acting up.

Does the vehicle have cruise control? The CC can produce feedback on the accelerator pedal. However if working properly pushing down on the pedal will override the CC.

The Revs were not surging thankfully, so I rule out tranny. I think that probably what I attributed to the transmission one night as I ascended our steep road was not the trans. This is terrific news!! It seems the hesitation begins at about 3500 rpms. At first I had the wife shift down to 3, but I realized this did not add any power and in fact made things worse because it seemed to dislike the higher rpms. Also, and this is weird, the wife claimed she felt the throttle pushing back at her foot as the power surged on and off. Brian: Check engine mounts? Weak engine mounts that allow the engine to rock in its cradle can result in surging throttle. Your wife feeling the pulsating in the go pedal made me think of this. Have not had this occur in an MB, but have in other cars with bad motor mounts.

He said, If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.' Here is how they do it, Lamm said: First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi- lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bi lingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans. Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America, invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.

Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.' Lamm said, I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities. Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school. My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money.

Reading this brought to mind the intent of the All Mighty when He smote those building the Tower of Babel. The resulting inability to understand a group with such diverse languages resulted in the cessation of building of the great temple up to God. at least if you buy into that sort of myth.

Hirofumi Fukuda was chased by Osaka PD for running a red light, fleeing and eluding, and the worst crime imaginable-assaulting a law enforcement officer. 2,240 cops were involved in the two hour manhunt. I'm betting that the chase would have involved fewer than 20 cops if he was wanted for a less serious offense, like murdering a peon. http://jalopnik.com/348917/ ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
