88-190e

Hello ,

My 190e shakes a lot when I come to a stop. When I drive it the car is fine this only happens when the car comes to a stop or low speeds. Any advice will be helpful.

I had rough idle problems and replaced both...cured the issue!

I would say check your engine/tranny mounts, then maybe replace your spark plugs/wires and air filter and see if that fixes the issue.

Did you find a solution to the problem as I have the same and curious to know what you have done to get rid of it?
When I start my car from cold its idling smooth, driving smooth, bur after about 20mins it start to "get the shakes" when I stop at a traffic light, and also when I pull away....However the car drive smoothy oce I`m on the move......Told it might be the distributor cap......Any advice or suggestions?

I was having all kinds of strange idle issues. I replaced my OVP and it runs and starts much smoother. I have come to find out, the ovp is very easily fried or damaged in these. They don't cost much so definitely worth replacing

Hey mate
Thanks for your reply!
For me as a totally stupid with technical stuff, what is
a OVP and where is it located?
Maybe a pic perhaps, please!!

OVP is a silver/gray relay behind the battery.
DON'T by this cheap relay's on ebay. It's much better to re-soldering the relay.
I did by a new OVP to my "190K". And as long I did use this with a newer EFI+++ & alarm did I find out that this are no good. Suddenly my alarm starts and the reason was that the relay did go on when it want,somethimes the car didn't stop. I did repair my old relay and everything are ok.
On a stock w201+++ can't you figure out this, only if your battery is empty,
