ok, I recently hit the fuel line in a ditch, car was sputtering and hicupping when accelerating...took her in and had this fixed, new plugs, wires, fuel filtre, and fuel system cleaned..running fine except when you go on the interstate and stomp on her around 70 or 80 mph ...she sputters and wont accelerate..also in park if you rev the engine she won't rev past 4000rpms...mechanic said it was "the rev setting" or something, but this car doesnt have an LIM or speed limiter. Other than that she runs and idles fine, you just can't gun her anymore (and you used to be able to) and again, in park she wont rev past 4000rpm and sputters...whats going on here??? Thank you for any help or feedback with this..

oh..hmmm..but sergio, if you're going 70+ on the highway and you stomp on the accelerator does she shudder and not accelerate until you let off and ease the pedal down or no? Is that normal, because I dont remember having the problem before..maybe I just never drove her that hard before, but shouldnt I be able to stomp on her if I neeeed to?
My '95 E420 shudders VIOLENTLY when I try to rev past 4000 when in park, and now I know why ;-)
Dehaven - twice in the past 10 months my car has "frozen" at a speed between 40-50 mph on the highway, both times while trying to speed up while going uphill, and no amount of stomping on the accelerator could speed the car up. Both times I drove easy (and scared) for a few minutes, and the behavior didn't repeat. I have talked to 2 Mercedes shops and a dealership about this, and everyone just looked at me like I was a babbling lunatic. They had never heard of such a thing.
Hello dehaven,
I have similar symptoms in my 94 e420.
Were you able to resolve the issue ?
thanks
Luke
