Hi to one and all, have had merc's for a few years now, live in the east midlands, originally from london, have a W Regd W210 E280, and have only just found out about this forum, when i was using google to try and find an answer to a problem, which i hope someone here might be able to help, as with other forums there seems to be a vast knowledge bank out there.
The problem is when i start car cold, if i accelerate off straight away quite quickly, the engine seem to be holding back and the more you try to accelerate the harder it seems hold back,if you hold a set revs it sems to run lumpy missing, then when you become stationary in drive, it appears to have rough tickover, almost stalling. all i do to stop it, is to switch off, restart straight away and drive off with no problems it's getting more often now, possibly cold weather? something sticking. it does the same sometimes after work and it's been stood all day. when it's running rough/missing? it doesn't backfire or pop, just runs really rough. W210 E280 V6 auto (2 plugs per cylinder seperate coil packs for each cylinder) although if it were plugs, leads or packs i would have thought it would do it all the time or until it warmed up, but we all know what thought does,
a big thanks in advance to anyone with any useful suggestions
Tony
