1994 E320 Cab , bad idle
I recently got this impeccable 1994 E320 Cabriolet, 2 owners and all records, 101K miles, CA owned all its life.
30K in receipt over that last 5 years, includes new head, and harnesses, hoses belts, new top, and associated hydraulics.
driven 3K miles over the last 6 years.
The second day I drove her , she drove great, good idle and power.
But I turned into my parking space, and the idle became very rough..
Drove her a little more, power is really nice, but idle was horrible.
I am a good mechanics on Mercedes, but this is a strange problem.
No vacuum leaks, tried another MAF, no change.
No check engine light either, coils and plugs are fine.
Could I have a VVT issue ?
Thanks.
Henri.

Think the 320 never saw rpm over 4000 .
vvt actuator stuck .
She runs good now , no issues
