Re: [MBZ] Good 400E News

And that could be, however, they weren’t on the ground here reading the SDS and checking the various components. The key word here is “probably”. I went in assuming everything was good and used the process of elimination to narrow it down to the ETA. There could certainly be other issues, but

Re: [MBZ] Good 400E News

Did you read what I wrote? The PO told me his indie sent the ETA out to be tested and it tested OK. Apparently it wasn’t. So I was going on the understanding that the ETA was good, but my testing showed that it had problems, which is why I sent it out for rebuilding. -D > On Mar 10,

Thanks! Many of us have taken on “basket cases” like this one, where you have to discount everything the PO told you and just start from scratch. Despite the PO’s mechanic claiming the ETA to be good, down in the weeds diagnostics just didn’t support those claims so I really had no choice but

[MBZ] Good 400E News

Just heard from the ETA rebuilder. The ETA (throttle body) had a bad clutch coil in it, meaning that it was more or less in permanent limp home mode as the electronic throttle would never have engaged. This is great news as it confirms my diagnosis and means that the car should be functional
