Mercedes-Benz 260E W124 M103 Idle Stalling Problem - Idle Air Control Valve Cleaning

[@190mex]

Test the air flow potentiometer with multimeter for voltage when engine idiling pin 1,2- 0.7V +- 0.1V The problem is that it probably worn the resistive material in the potentiometer and need to replace it because it gives the signal to the computer (ECU) and sends a signal to the stabilizer minimum valve (IACV).

[@TorqREV]

+190mex We have tried the potentiometer test prior to the methods in the video and it showed no deviations from the specifications.

[@Nikola-eu9nu]

M102 owner here, had same problem, solve it by replacing potentiometer and disconecting ICV, runs on 1000rpm and it didn't stall for like 2 yrs now

[@ИванХаджийски-ю5т]

I have a problem with my mercedes w124 3.0 petrol, it works unevenly, what should I look for

[@vijaywaingankar8352]

Good work. Sir

[@piemasta93]

Can’t spraying all that crap into the air filter housing cause problems to the engine?? Thought we didn’t want anything in there but oil.

Good..job.sir

How to change automatic gearbox for.this car please help

[@villaemas-h7e]

Brother: 1 owned W124-260E 1988 since 1993, the car is not on daily uses for the past 5 years. Problem: 1. It is easy to start but engine will knock & stop at the first hard press 2. If the engine continue ok- but after about 30 running idle, the engine stop & can not restart . After about an hour the engine can restart. Please advice

[@TorqREV]

Sounds like you're running rich and having a hot start problem. Check your cold start valve first.

[@shaazy]

Great video. Did it jerk when putting into D? I have that same jerk, do you think it's caused by your idle air control valve problems or is it unrelated?

[@TorqREV]

It did. There was a vacuum leak. Do a smoke test.

[@goblinman72]

Hey man, i wanna replace the fuel injectors on my 190e and im kinda new to working on my car. How did you remove the air filter housing? I removed the 3 bolts holding it in place. Kinda scared to remove the move the breather tube (most to the left of the 3 removable parts when looking at the air filter housing) should i just pull it out with a lot of force?

[@stevesutton9444]

If you cant take of the air filter, I don't hold out much hope of you relacing the injectors.

[@goblinman72]

@@stevesutton9444 replaced the injectors yesterday, miracles do happen haha

[@deniskamau3895]

cleaning the throttle also helps

I have a e34 bmw and just picked up A w124 260e for $650. It runs weird but it's pretty quick

Runs weird? Like what signals is it giving out?
