Hi,
I have some annoying issues with my 5-speed manual 2.3 97kw 190E. At first, it's driving perfectly fine, pulling like it should all thru the revs etc. BUT, sometimes the engine going to stall after i take out the gear. It is happening only when decreasing speed, and seems like on speeds under 40-50km/h, not every time, but when it does, the rpm-s dropping too low right after pressing the clutch pedal/taking the gear out, and engine stalls. Never noticed it on higher speeds or increasing speed, and it seems that the rpm drop is normal that time also, they are only going too low when the speeds are under 50km/h on decreasing, but even then the engine stalling is not happening every time, over half of that time it can raise the rev-s back to normal right away. Tested it on braking, that maybe it is related when i add some brake pressure also in that time, but seems that it won't affect it directly. Now when i'm driving with the car, i try to hold my foot on the gas pedal at the same time when changing down the gear/decreasing speed when it's possible, like that it never does it, as the rev-s can't drop that much. Long story short, it seems that it is happening because of the rpm-s dropping too low after taking the gear out when decreasing speed in town speeds, but why it is happening?
Other thing to notice is the engine startup when hot, it is somewhat hard and not going to idle fine right after startup, it takes some seconds and sputtering for the engine to idle normally, when adding some gas right after the startup, it is going to idle normally much faster tho. BUT when the engine is cold, it is bang-on and starts up right after touching the key, and idle is also perfect right after it is started. I don't know if those two issues are combined or not, that's why i mentioned both of them.
About the maintenance, spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, oil, battery etc. are all new, and i say it over, car is driving PERFECTLY well other than described above.
Anybody have some clues or is there some common issues to look out for?
