1997 S600 Misfire 1-6
Hello all,
I'm a newbie that purchased a 1997 S600 about 18 months ago. I honestly love this car when it's operable. I've had a series of problems, that I allowed the dealership to work/fix and I've paid handsomely for it. Now I've owned several BMWs, AUDIs and a VW passat. I've am very fimiliar with german cars and have worked on all of them from change water pumps to as much as replacing head gasket. However my first BENZ is a V12 which can be intimidating, I've tackled so far though changing the water pump and thermostat, and replacing the all spark plugs and 3 coil packs. My most recent repair was last night replacing oxygen sensors on the right side (passenger) due to fault codes P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 and last P0306. I've cleared the code and drove down the rode (after getting and changing a flat tire, ARGGG!!) the codes return. Again I've change 3 of 6 coil packs on that side alone, All 12 spark plugs have been change, I've replace both o2 sensors on that side and I'm changing the fuel filter tonight. Oh yeah I replaced both Mass Airflow Meters as well. I even stop using BP gasoline. I really feel like It's not getting the gas, I drive at low speed (20-30 mph) and I feel spurts of power, when I'm in higher speed it flies. It idles real smooth.
Is there any thing else anyone can think of that I can do to eliminate these codes for good? Any advice will be helpful, (except the advice of selling my car. Haha) Thanks,
