I have a 1983-85 Mercedes 230E that has a bit of quirky problem.....
Every now and again, when driving along, the power will suddenly drop off, and when the car slows down sufficiently, the engine just cuts out......Yet when I restart the engine, it works fine again for a while before doing it again......
It only happens under very definite circumstances......Firstly, it only happens when I lift my foot from the accelerator, or when the revs are dropping.....Never on accelaration or when the revs are high......
Secondly, and this is the most puzzling of the two circumstances......It only ever happens on hot sunny days.......I have joked with my wife that the car sffes from hay-fever......
Has anyone got any idea what could be the cause of this problem?.....It's most annoying.....
Cheers
Sam
