I have approx. 138K miles on a 95 SL2. The motor quit twice now; once while my wife was slowing down to 25mph and with me while coming to a stop from a slow speed of about 30mph. So far, the motor hasn't quit after it has warmed up. I used an Autoxray 2000 to scan for codes. The only code present was 32 MAP sensor low. I cleared the code and tried to duplicate the problem. The motor hasn't quit again so far, however the SES light did come back on after 3 miles of driving. I scanned again and got the same code. I know that ATE (automatic testing equipment) isn't always on the mark, depending on how the microprossor is interfaced with the sensor's and how the instructions were written to interpret the values coming back from the sensors. Sometimes bugs can be masked by others and the code you get is inaccurate. If any one has any experience in this area, I would greatly appreciate any info you have. Thank You. Some basic things I've checked: The battery is charging a little over 14VDC I've kept a rusty belt tensioner freed by spraying a lubricant in it. And I noticed a brittle hose between the vavle cover and air intake duct.
