Well, its been a while since my 202 has given me any trouble, so I suppose I am due for some sort of annoyance.
The stats:
1996 C280 Sport
219K miles
The problem-
In the life of this car, I would have to say this is the largest problem it has ever seemed to have. And I mean large as in bizarre and seemingly complex. I really hope it isn't as bad as it seems.
Yesterday the CEL light came on while driving in the AM. The following evening while running to the grocery store the doors would not lock. It is now sputtering at idle- almost like the engine is about to stall out. On top of this, the interior dome lights are now not working at all.
I would assume that there must be some sort of electrical issue lurking which has led to all of these problems occurring within the 10 miles covered since the CEL came on. At least I would hope so.. I cannot imagine that all of these problems have surface independently of one another at roughly the same time.
Any advice greatly appreciated. I'll be setting up an appt. with my indy to have the car looked at, but it would be nice to gather some info from members here whom may have experienced similar issues.
