idle problem
Hi guys,
I'm new to that forum but want to start w/ a question:
I have a W211 E500 M113 and the car idles a bit strange. The engine is shaking and w/ the air intake removed (just open Air Mass sensor) I hear a plopping sound.
Went to a friend who has a STAR diag and we found out that cyl#2 is not running smoothly. He said it must be an ignition problem so I replaced the ignition coil pack for cyl#2 and the leads and the spark plugs but the issue still exists.
Tomorrow I will check for compression to see if it is a mechanic problem but from my feeling it must be ignition or maybe fuel.
The STAR diag showed no bad issues so I'm a bit confused what else to look at.
Anyone ever had this issue ?
Thanks !
Christian

I don't really have any input but you have NOOOOO idea how lucky you are to have friend with an SDS machine. Man, do you live near Washington,DC? I see a potential business venture.
