91 SL 300
My car acting crazy Helpppppppppppppppppp
I have a 91 SL 300 i had new fuel pumps and filter in stalled. The car runs great at idleing and sometimes while your driving but sometimes when you press on the gas it seems to bogg out very bad not going anywere. #1 check the fuel persure again it's great. could it be the coil or something elese? Ps. the gas mixter is great and i taken of the converter to see was it the problem

Same problem here
I just bought a '91 300sl as well and mine is doing the same thing. Runs great then for some reason it will stutter and stop leaving a stop light, it will idle fine and if I slooowly give it some gas it will finally start running OK. Where to start???
Thanks
