Whilst I'm here, theres more. Why ,oh why does my e240 top out at 95mph then run lumpy to a crawling pace? If I pull over switch off the ignition and then immediately restart it it runs fine again up to 95mph then same thing happens. I'm thinking transmission or some electronic trickery. If I can get the fuel leak sorted it'll be going for trade in and unless the salesman puts it through serious examination he'll never know but it does really bug me.

Hey, it might be an issue with your timing. Go get a check engine reading... Oh but the way, isnt it illegal to drive 95mph anywhere in the US? hahaha im just kidding, i just recently found out that my 97 E430 is governed at 130mph :-(
Anyways, back to the topic, do small checks on electronic things like mass airflow senosor and stuff relating to proper feul/air mixture.

Good Luck

Hey Dominik, so which one is it - a 98 or a 97 E430? Your side bar says '98. Just curious... :confused:
