After this adjustment the check engine light stayed on for 30 seconds then off then on briefly the off and it stayed off. So that's interesting. I think it's fine. It readjusted itself perhaps to the new fuel mixture I think. Thank You. Priceless information.

Recently replaced my EHA and car ran good and smooth. Took out for a longer drive and then took a while to start. Watched this video and adjusted 1/4 turn in and would not start. Then backed it out 1/2 turn (1/4 turn from original position)and seems to be running well. Smooth again and guess we will see when I take it for a longer ride. Great job on the videos. Very informative.

Great channel and great tech! Home mechanic benz enthusiast here…inherited 1986 300 sl. 76k miles. Tuned regularly by benz shop but could never solve a problem. Every other day of driving it will drastically stumble off the line creating a dangerous drive. Then returns after feathering throttle. OR at highway speed it will buck or starve for fuel. Starts ok hot or cold. Will high idle occasionally. Puzzled then I might try this?

I appreciate if you indicate on each step engine/Ignition off or on, the tester valve open or close. I have a hard time to get a right value, somehow I am not doing it correctly.

Hi, just to turn it 1/4 of a turn. does that mean from where the screw sits on any car just turn it 1/4 of a turn? wouldnt that make the settings different for different cars? or do you have to turn it first to a certain position and then do a 1/4 turn? thanks

Since I am driving a 190E i am watching you and have to admit your knowledge is fantastic like no one else does. But i bought another 190E and the car does have one major issue. When you stop the car the isle rpm goes down to 500rpm and sometimes after still standing he recovers from rhis to the normal idle800rpm roundabout. But sometimes the car stalls. No matter if your are rolling or the car is still standing. I was checking the hole ke-jetronic and looking for leaks, but there is nothing. Do you have any tips or idear what the problem might be. The hall sensor behind the spedometer ais also working great. I have to say the cars nother amjor issue was, that the car didn't had the full power under full throttle. But at 75%to80% throttle the car was running great. So then i adjustest the eha with a 90 degrece turn to rich. And this problem is gone. But not the idel. When you start the car and it is not revving 2000rpm the idel of the car isn't to bad its more okey not so bad. But after you were roling some meters the idle is normaly gone.

I watched your video and it gave me good information! But, I have a few questions, that you might be able to answer. Somewhere on the internet, I read that the "factory" setting for the EHA is about 7 turns, if it's screwed all the way in and 7 out. When the car is running then and the connector for the EHA is unplugged, the cars runs bad. That, in my opinion, tells that the EHA is working, as it should. But the car is not running with full performance (with the 7 turn adjustment) the best option, for my car is 6,25 turns from bottom. Engine is fully rebuilt, bored, balanced, oversize pistons (M103 engine) and a hotter camshaft. When the EHA is unplugged, with the 6,25 option - there's no difference, engine runs same, plugged or unplugged... but why? The exhaust smells bad of gas then, but as you are mentioning in your video, the idle air mixture should be adjusted then, because of the EHA adjustment, to compensate. So, EHA and idle air mixture needs to be touched, when one of them is adjusted, the other needs to be adjusted "the other way"?

I have a wideband lambda hooked up on my car, and when i start it i have about 15,5:1 and when i floor it when hot it also leans out, but normal driving and idling it adjust itself and fluctuates between 14,6-14,8. Engine has 400.000km on it and runs great but is a bit slow when i floor it and when cold. I have set the eha HZ to 48HZ but best i have done is 0.95l/km so far and its lean when coldstarted and when i floor it. Do you think its a vacuum leak (cant find any) or that the engine is worn and that we now only have e10 fuel so the eha has to be adjusted?

Nou it starts. Idle nicely. But when u exselerate it starts to miss and when u take your foot of the pedal it dies when coming down. But starts very easy. Can it also be the EHA valve maybe.

Pierre, I just signed up at the $10 level (under the name Dalton Jones). I had a rough idle when hot starting so I replaced the AFM potentiometer and adjusted the duty cycle. That fixed the hot idle for about 10 days but then it came back, although not as bad (it clears up within 2 minutes of a hot start). Should I consider adjusting the EHA? The O2 sensor is newish (12K miles ago) and it's been fully tuned up.

Would this part have anything to do with a LOW idle? I have been through every part of my M103, and it idles and runs nicely, but the spark plugs look totally clean (almost like running lean?) after 200 miles. The idle is also around 400RPM at idle fully warmed up. The low idle is making the economy gauge read about 1/3 to the right. Injectors, o2 sensor, fuel pumps, accumulator, etc etc is all brand new. I have been thinking about adjusting the EHA about 1/8 turn clockwise. What would you do? FANTASTIC video btw. Back when I was learning about all of this (about 5-6 years ago) it was a very elusive subject, with almost Zero content to help on KZbin. Thank you Pierre, Sincerely.

I agree with you that on K- Jetronic type of fuel system its a little complicated to check fuel pressure. There are at least four types of fuel pressures to worry about, the system pressure, cold control pressure, warm control pressure and holding pressure. All of these pressures are adjustable if required except the holding pressure. If the holding pressure is outside the tolerance, the fuel system must be check for internal or external fuel leak. Thanks for your very informative video. All the best and stay away from covid.

My mechanic recently replaced (and I assume adjusted) the EHA on my '91 500SL due to its fuel leak, but the rough idle continues, despite new coils/wires/plugs/vacuum hoses/oxygen sensor, and a seemingly working idle control valve (swapped in another used but purportedly-working unit). The only thing left untouched is the KE Jetronic FD; could the EHA have been mal-adjusted?

Did you do a pressure test on the system following the EHA replacement? Also, did he adjust the 3mm idle screw following the EHA installation?

@@mercedesclassicswithpierre1753 Not sure what the mechanic did post-EHA installation. By the "3mm idle screw", you're NOT referring to the 2 mm mixture screw in the EHA, I take it? Thx. I'm an owner who likes to learn and tinker, tackling problems myself if I'm able. Thx.

1988 w126 300sel. Was replacing the spark plug wires/cap and rotor and noticed a fuel smell. Traced the fuel leak back to the EHA. Not sure if the 2 green seals are good or not. The seals have no cracks and are not deformed. I removed and cleaned the seals and reinstalled. Still observing fuel leaking between the EHA and the distributor flat surface (top). I'm hoping its the seals and not a bad EHA. There is a weep hole on the outside of the EHA but I'm not sure what its for.

@@mercedesclassicswithpierre1753 Yup, you got it right. Bad EHA. Is there any difference on going with a new Bosch EHA vs the Genuine MB EHA? I can save significant amount of money by going with the Bosch EHA from FCP Euro (lifetime warranty) vs the Genuine MB unit with my discount. Both are by Bosch. I'm expecting a headache because I know that the new EHA is going to require adjustments.

I just had the same experience. Replacing o-rings didn’t slow leaking. Bought the new part and no more leakage. Need to adjust it since engine is very hard to start warm now, and it stumbles under part throttle acceleration.
