Please can somebody help
I have a 1994 280E Auto (petrol) estate which suddenly lost a lot of performance.
1/. The engine won't idle at all.
2/. Once started I have to keep it alive with the throttle or the engine will stall.
3/. It won't rev above 4000 rpm. If the engiine approaches these revs the engine begins to stumble and will cut out even while driving.
4/. There is a strong smell of unburnt fuel at idle, like the fuel mixture is wrong.
I am thinking the EMU might have defaulted into a "Get Home" mode...If this is correct can it be reset and how?
Kind Regards
