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

[Kivendren Moodliyar]

I purchased my Ignition module from a guy that strips mercs and sells the
parts second- hand. I then put brand new Bougi Cords as well as a Cap (Non
-MB). Rumour has it that if you use  Non MB parts like this.. u burn out the
MB tyoe ignition module.

 

She stalls sometimes and other times she is fine.

 

She doesn't start sometimes, then all I do is tap the ignition module and
Whalla she starts

 

Weird..

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.
