Thanks Dan, I've got to check my spam filters I guess.

I haven't gotten Richard's original email on my phone, anyone else miss it?

Richard, where the filter is located, any possibility you disturbed a vacuum 
line or electrical connection?  Never looked under the hood of a 190E, so I'm 
grasping for straws.

Interesting discussion on fuel filter swaps in the W220 forum at BW recently.  
Someone was talking about “shocking” the fuel pump after a filter change, due 
to there being air entrained in the fuel or a short period of time where the 
pump might run without any fuel, potentially damaging the pump in the process.

I’m putting this out there as a possibility, however, I don’t buy it.  Any more 
than I buy the concept of “fluid shock” that some claim can occur when you do a 
complete fluid change on an automatic transmission.

are you talking about a spin on metal fuel filter? If so they last virtually 
forever. A paper filter will last as long unless exposed to high levels of 
moisture for long periods.

Hi, 

Just finished replacing the fuel pump on our 1987 190E. While things are 
better, they still aren't right. The car won't idle but will run around 
1500 rpm+. 

Since this whole thing started when I replaced the fuel filter, I was 
wondering if they are ever bad or if they have a shelf life. The one I 
used was a Bosch that I think is 2-3 years old. 

Thanks, 
Richard
