Fairly fresh fuel filter at 26K miles? I believe the recommended change interval is 30K miles. Not that this is definitely your problem.Markus--- On Tue 09/27, Shayegan, Richard < rishayegan at davidson.edu > wrote:

Fairly fresh fuel filter (27k), injectors (20k), fueldistributor (14k), and spark plugs (7k). Even the distributor cap,rotor, and timing chain only have 36k miles on them. I wonder ifrichening my lambda back up would get rid of this, though IIRC it wasstill doing it when my lambda was richer, and I hate to needlessly slowdown my times (right now my mixture is set in a way that gets me thefastest ETs).Richard-----Original Message-----From: mbcoupes-bounces at mbcoupes.com[mailto:mbcoupes-bounces at mbcoupes.com] On Behalf Of Mister McGooSent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 2:09 AMTo: mbcoupes at mbcoupes.comSubject: RE: [W126 Coupe] what's out of adjustmentWhat year/engine?>From: "Shayegan, Richard" >Reply-To: Mercedes Coupes Mailing Lists >To: "Mercedes Coupes Mailing Lists" >Subject: [W126 Coupe]
