Guys I just bought a 96 e320..driving her home the first hour or so on the interstate everything was FINE....then...all of a sudden I could floor it..push the pedal alll the way to the floor and she wouldn't gain speed..when I stopped at the stop sign off the freeway exit she vibrated like CRAZY...the display read "Check Engine-Engine Electronics"....now when idling she shakes like crazy-never stalls out or engine cut-out but there's no power when you press the pedal like she's struggling to 'pick-up'...Any Ideas? THank you!

 

Change spark plugs and fuel filter if they have not been replaced lately or if you don't know when they were replaced.

And if that doesnt do it try the plug wires.

 

could be a few things you need to get the code read. could be misfire codes could be a air mass code. could be water in the plug wires could be a lot get the codes read that will give you a starting point. most auto parts store now day offer that they will read your codes for free. (dont buy anything from them though) get the code and i will tell you where to start

 

Hey Thanks,
I just woke up and am going to Autozone to get codes read...was going to go straight to dealership but I'm hoping it's something simple....crossing my fingers...

 

Okaaay..went and had codes read...came up with 2 codes.."300" (random misfire? I think) and "304" (cylinder 4)? ...So I guess I'm taking her into a local good shop and changing the plugs and wires...any other suggestions? Thank you so much for your help
