[W126 Coupe] HELP! Car Salling!!!!!

[Tony Damar]

I had a intermittent stalling problem a couple summers ago and it turned out to be a short the ignition control module.  We replaced lots of parts all the injectors, seals, cleaned idle valve, etc.  Then the car stalled leaving the garage.  When it failed to restart, they put a meter on the ignition control unit and it wasn't reading right.  Replaced that and it has worked fine since.  
   
  BTW, my 380SE and 300SD both start in first gear.

  All W126 cars take off in second gear, that is normal,
the problem is the shifting between gears. Or it will
be running about 3K RPM in 3rd and won't shift to 4th,
even if you let your foot off the gas, it will just
rev down. 

As far as the ignition control module, most of the
time the car will not start at all if that is bad. I
have heard that it can also cause problems with
stalling or bad spark.
