engine intermittent problem 200 89 DL

posted by  someone claiming to be Mikey B on  Thu Nov 29 18:30 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi Diane,

Here's a little food for thought. I had a similar problem with my 89 240, i would step on the accelator, and the engine would lull a couple seconds, and than "wake up." But my problem got worse very quickly. It ended up that my main fule pump was shot, my fuel filter was clogged with rock-sized deposits, and my line pressure regulator was shot. Unfortunately this is a fairly expensive repair (almost 700 at the dealer) So I did it all myself and saved quite a bit of dough. It might be worth having a shop take a look, but you should definately check the fault codes. Hopefully you have a different, less expensive problem. I'm pretty new to fixing up my baby myself, so I hope I'm not steering you down the wrong path. Anyway, enjoy your wagon, and I hope it makes it to a million!

Peace,

Mikey B
