M103 engine question ????
Hello everybody
my 1990 300te with M103 powerplant I hear some knocking sound on acceleration
may on low gears is it possible that I have to change my plugs
rotor distributor cap??
Is there a distributor on for this engine so I can adjust the
timing???
Thanks

Change the Cap,rotor and plugs
use only copper plugs no platinums.
Are you burning only premium fuel?
What kind of knock?

hello
10 gal of fuel i get around 150 miles side street, i add engine oil 1qt in a month or 1.5 months
the knocking sounds like a old japanise engine that has a retard timing or negative timing from the distributoron acceleration

Do you mean pinging or a mechanical knocking?
The distributor is at the front of the engine and is fixed. All advance and retart is controlled by the EZL ignitor. The timing is adjusted by a resistor plug, I don't know where it is on the W124, this is the W126 forum.
