Engine hick ups
 

Hi ...
First of all sorry in advance for my "poor" english ...[&:]
Here's the question ...
I have a E250 W210 1996. Usually it runs fine ( although sluggish from time to time ) but sometimes something odd happens when i step on the gas ...
The engine kind of "cuts off" for a second or two and then it kind of "kicks off" and accelerate. It happens more frequently on low engine regime ...
Any ideas on what might cause it ?
Thanks in advance

Fuel filter perhaps. When was tha last time it was changed?

How old are your spark plugs?

Go to Diesel Discussion Forum for Diesel mechanical advice. Your chassis may be an E class, but the engine and the problems that you are experiencing are better suited for a diesel enthusiast. Best of luck to you![8D]
