Greetings MBWorld, I'm turning one of my W203 C32 twins into a track car. After having a C240 for a first car, the W203 will always be special to me. I haven't seen many people try this so it should be interesting. So far I'm trying to fix and diagnose some engine issues.
I'm also recording it for a series on my YouTube channel.
Here's part 1; please let me know what you think.

Hey Buddy,Originally Posted by ImMax

Sounds to me like your ignition system needs simple maintenance. This is what I suggest:
1. Put a bottle of Lucas Fuel injector cleaner in gas tank, which will clean your fuel injectors ($5).
2. Replace spark plugs and gap properly ($15). Your plugs are likely to be causing misfire.
3. Clean MAF ($5). Just open air and spray maf cleaner through mesh without removing, but make sure to let it all dry for a couple hours or else you will have a hard start.
4. Replace air filter ($25-50). Optional.
If none of that works let me know!

I've always been a fan of Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner and it's effective properties. However, it is not MB Approved. As I completely agree with the provided advice from LexBrett2, for peace of mind I'd recommend sticking with a couple treatments of Chevron Techron Fuel System Cleaner. As you can see, they're pretty cheap at Walmart.Originally Posted by LexBrett2
