Your bill is going to be anywhere from $5-$5000. Seriously, with so little info, anything is possible. Get an OBD II reading of the code and post it on here so the resident experts can help you out. I believe the scanner is not too expensive if you have a Harbor Freight near you or most Pepboys/Autozone will scan the codes for you for free. Good luck.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Get some sleep

usually very simple items set off CEL's if it was more major the cel would be blinking.Per above get your codes read at shucks or kraggens etc.
or purchase the 94169 harbor freight scanner.
Take a copy of the online ad and you will get it at the store for 39bucks.
Plug it into the port under the driver side dash(behind a little black flip down door)follow the directions or pm me and then post the code.We can solve the issue. Peace

Could

have been from someone revving it in park or neutral past the neutral rev limiter,could have been a loose plug boot,a bit of dirt in the injector.If cel is clear and no misfire p0304 it being the optimist I am think you will not have any more issues with it.
99%?someone spends too much time at the shop with that attitude

Whats our govenator say? Oh yeah...."I'll be back", and in v3 looking down the elev shaft? "She'll be back".

I'd wait until if/when it returns to do anything at this point.
