Just Purchased 2000 SL500 - Few Questions
Hi all,
I had a few questions about my car:
Sometimes, when I first start the car up and start driving, it's only running on 7 cylinders, or maybe 6. It has absolutely no pickup. I've put a can of Seafoam in the tank, but that hasn't fixed it entirely. It does this maybe 1-2 times out of 10 times driving the car. Fuel Filter maybe? Ignition Coil? No CEL on dash.
When I'm on the expressway driving, and I nail it, as in push the pedal far enough to hit the kickdown switch, it downshifts a little hard, it jerks a little bit...almost as if when you are driving a manual car and you bang it into gear. When I do not hit the kickdown switch, it is extremely smooth.
Other than that, the car is really great!!
Thanks!
