Hi there,
So I recently bought an A160 from 1999, gasoline engine, but haven't been able to enjoy it too much.
After driving for just 2 days, the car started having issues while driving, stalling and losing power. 2 days later, it became so bad it hardly wanted to start, and couldn't drive 20 meters without losing power. After I connected it to the MB Star, it showed an issue with the Air Mass Meter. Shipped it to ecutesting, and they repaired it after a week.
After refitting the ECU, those errors went away, and besides having some difficulties with a cold start (have to crank it two or three times), the car ran without issues.
A week later, when the car was on only a quarter fuel, it started stalling again while driving. Especially when stopping at an intersection, it has a habbit of dropping death. I can always restart after that, but it doesn't really make driving anywhere enjoyable. After completely filling the car with fuel, the issues mostly are gone. The car sometimes holds back, but doesn't die and does start from the first try (though barely). What could the issue be?
Star diagnosis doesn't show any error related to this anymore. I did notice however, at the bottom of the ECU unit, there is a small pipe that goes in. That little pipe is covered in what I think is fuel. Could that be linked to it? Pictures of that here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/g8LyCJJ
