Re: [MBZ] SDL accelleration from a stop
Dude, I am retired. I get my jollies at the pick and pull, dealing with a van full of wet backs, housing sadomasochistic bondage wenches, and playing with Gump. The POS SDL knew it wanted to be in OK with Kaleb, so I had to fork it over.

Re: [MBZ] SDL accelleration from a stop
Needs the shims under the ALDA adjusted to give correct fuel delivery off idle. Peter
Re: [MBZ] SDL accelleration from a stop
Sort of, but not quite. First you'll need to remove your ALDA - there's a pictorial at this link: http://www.w124performance.com/images/OM603_injection/ Then, you either add a shim underneath of the correct thickness, or you remove the tamper seal on top, loosen the locknut, and turn the setscrew (carefully!). Turn it CCW to richen the mixture. Usually 1.0-1.5 turns is about right. You adjust richer until there's no more power gain off idle, then maybe turn it back just a hair. A slight puff of smoke leaving a stop is normal. A lot of smoke leaving a stop is not normal. Properly adjusted, you'll have no loss in MPG. It may take some experimenting to get the setting correct. It's also good to verify the ALDA isn't leaking. To test, you have to apply pressure with a MityVac (NOT vacuum, has to be pressure). It should pump up to about 15psi and either hold that pressure, or leak down slowly. If you can't pump it above zero psi with a MItyVac, or it leaks down very quickly, you need a new shaft seal (as shown in the photos at the link above). Jim Friesen sells the seals for about $10 if you need one. This only affects part-throttle power, though, if it is leaking. :-) -Dave M.

Re: [MBZ] SDL accelleration from a stop
What Marshall and Dave said. My SDL was exactly like yours when I bought it. I followed Dave's instructions - now the car is a real pleasure to drive. Fast off the line, no lag - just a good smooth increase in power. It had no effect on the fuel usage. -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK '90 300D 243K, Rattled '87 300SDL 290K, Limo Lite, or blue car '81 240D 173K, Gramps, or yellow car '78 450SLC 67K, brown car '97 Ply Grand Voyager 78K Van Go

Not being a turbo driver, I've gotten into the habit over the years of actually taking off just as the car I'm waiting for goes by. Understand what I mean? This often freaks out people who haven't ridden with me before. I just have to remember not to do it when I'm driving the Acura. Bob Rentfro '77 300D 151K Litchfield Park, AZ

That is typical of a car that requires the ALDA (pneumatic fuel = enrichment device) to be adjusted. Usually the screw needs to be turned = counterclockwise 1 to 1 1/2 turns.
