30mph 200 1988

posted by someone claiming to be klntravel on Sun Sep 3 01:29 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I just bought a 1988 240dl for my daughter a couple of months ago. It was made the same year she was born, and she said it reminded her of the movie "Riding in cars with boys". Anyway... Problem today..
The car won't excellerate past 30 mph. Sounds like it's not getting gas past a certain point. Accelerates slowly. idles fine, gage doesn't say it's overheating, started happening Friday. My neighbor changed the inline fuel filter..didn't help. Any suggestions?
Please and thank you

My guess -- fuel delivery -- filter or more likely, main fuel pump (or, is this happening on a hill?) [200][1988]
