Intermittent crazy idle
95 e320 wagon
So about a week ago i pulled into the gas station and the car idled crazy . . . . rev up / rev down / rev up / rev down - almost violently. I restarted and it went away.
then a week later my wife was driving the car and lost power - she would slam on the gas and get really delayed acceleration - nothing would happen at first.
when it did go it was fine, but then when she let off the gas it did the violent idle again - surgy.
any thoughts of where to start? are you thinking fuel or ignition?
thanks,
dave

I just so happen to have one post '98 that I have pulled out of car in a junkyard . . . . .
i really hope it is that - easy fix.
I was worried it was the fuel pump or the Fuel pressur regulator thingy that's near the thermostat.
