My Car Sounds Like Shiot

Dude, I said, if he gets in touch with me I will help him. I am more then willing to help, he just needs to send me his email address or something for me to get a hold of him by.

Renn, are you watching Ricky Lake, right now?

Aight... Back on topic....

Jnolte:

1) Is your check engine light on?
2) Does it sound or feel like the car is misfiring?

Things you car check yourself- spark plug connections - Take the air intake off the car and the cross tube. Remove of the allen head bolts on the black plastic engine cover. Check to make sure that all of the spark plug wires are well seated. They should not move, best way to check is to pull them off by the boot and re attach them- push down until you hear a click. Check to make sure the coils are well seated on the other 3 three plugs, just push them down, no click. Verify that the other wires are indeed secure.

This is the first thing I would check. It has happend on my car, a coil slides up and a causes a misfire. Easy to check, easy to fix.

Either way, I would definately take it to a good shop for a check up. Check out http://www.mercedesshop.com for recommendations on a good shop in your area.

Yes, you have a major timing belt problem.... it doesn't exist

**98_Benzo** · 07-09-2003, 04:35 PM

JNolte, I live in Renton, I sent you an email if you want to get a hold of me. I believe our cars have timing chains, so I don't think you have problems with timing, those are a little hard to move.

OH SHIT
Well its some kinda belt...

Okay what this??/ When i floor it it hesitates to kick into full power its like its slipping or somehing like that... It like shifts around the power ranges weird.. Think its the Tranny. i really dont but it may be

**98_Benzo** · 07-09-2003, 04:46 PM

Well, try throwing some fuel line cleaner in the gas tank and running that through your gas lines. That might help, the problem definitely sounds like a fuel problem. The other thing you might want to try is changing your plugs. See what those few little things do and then get back to me. I am not saying that is going to fix it for sure, but it might help out a little.

**Denlasoul** · 07-09-2003, 05:01 PM

Possibly a tranny going south? Also, have you checked out your MAS? Could be a source of problems.

Okay, now I may be stupid, and we might have already covered this, but could it be you're just going into kickdown mode?

The delay could be that you're in a high gear with the revs too low, and the car is just taking time to down shift...revs go up and you feel power.

No its not the kick down. Its like a disturbing sound. clicking then weird other sound dont even know how to explain it.

Umm, I thought it was a timing chain, not belt....at least my car has a timing chain.

It has a Timing Chain for sure and rarely does this go bad.

Instead of all these speculations why not diagnostic scan it at your local autozone. Write down the DTCs! At least you could pin point the problem.

**98_Benzo** · 07-09-2003, 08:38 PM

Does Autozone do a free check?

roger that!

**98_Benzo** · 07-09-2003, 09:53 PM

Sweet, now I just need to find one near me. If I were to get some codes, does anyone have a decoder, to tell me what is up with my car?

So is any other part stores.. What do you expect from 8 bucks/hr 'experts'

But at least they are helpful when it comes to tools loan.

98Benzo: man, for that kind of hookup, I'd even drive down to get my car serviced. Then we could have an unofficial Pacific NW gtg
