Stalling Quiz: WINNER GETS $50
« on: June 06, 2009, 06:23:02 PM »
What is your best guess? Winner gets $50
 Car: 1988 190E 2.3 8V
 Problem: stalls at a stop or while slowing down to a stop (All random)
 Parts replaced:
 1. Fuel pump
 2. Fuel filter
 3. Fuel Pressure Regulator
 4. Fuel accumulator
 5. ICV
 6. ICV hoses
 7. Air meter rubber boot
 8. Crank position sensor
 9. Fuel pump relay
 10. OVP
 11. Temperature sensor
 12. O2 sensor
 13. Catalytic converter
 14. Exhaust
 15. Resonator
 16. Spark plugs
 17. Ignition wires
 18. Ignition rotor
 19. Ignition cap
 20. Battery
 21. Voltage regulator
 22. Breather hose
 23. Breather hose coupling
 24. Fuel cap
 25 EHA washers
 
 What was done:
 Adjusted EHA and Lambda
 Checked fuel pressure
 Checked fuel flow for each injector
 Checked main fuel flow and quantity
Air plate adjusted
 
 If your suggestion fixes the problem then you will get $50. So far this problem has lasted one year and not a single suggestion from any of the forums has provided a solution that eliminated this stalling.
 
 Rules: You must state step by step the procedure that you would undertake. It must be replicated by an idiot like me and will not require that I end up in the hospital. In addition, replacing the whole engine or complete systems are not acceptable solutions. You must pinpoint a specific problem, support it then list and describe exactly how you would go about it.
 Before I implement your solution it must be vetted. Once I agree to go with your solution there will be a testing period of two weeks before I declare you a winner.
 
 Note: This competition is listed in several forums
 I reserve the right to terminate this competition at will

How about the screen on the fuel tank? Have you changed that?
