Stalls when coming to stop and/or on take off. 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Dan Mulcahy on  Sun Nov 15 15:26 CST 1998 [RELATED]

Hi!

My 1982 240DL, with 185,000 miles, intermittently stalls when coming to a complete stop (as at a red-light) or when taking off when the light changes. (Which makes for suspenseful driving!)

Historically, (1) the car has always "died" several times when first started. After hundreds of dollars and countless trips to dealers, mechanics, seers, etc., I had learned to live with that challenge. However, (2) this latest issue of intermittent stalling began right after I had the motor mounts replaced.

Could it be that something got "knocked out" of adjustment and that is what is causing it to stall out (the second problem)?

Any help, suggestions, etc. will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Dan
