    car all its life... unfortunately the owner had me check and its a nikasil motor with a nice miss to it... they just replaced the computer and one coil and that fixed the worst part of the miss... but its still got a pretty bad idle...

    spray some carb cleaner below the throttle body after a cold start, these bastard gaskets are dropping like flys around here, the one i got that the dealer said the nic was shot on just needed a fuel pump, 20 psi just aint enough and thats all it had left in it

    Default This ones a 93 740 that he just picked up at the dealers

    auction.... the local mercedes dealer had dumped it off at the auction to be sold..I suspect they already checked it and dumped it to get rid of it...

    id say they dumped it cause it's 12 years old, unless it's something real special the local dealers just flush them through the friday auction and get whatever, at which point we buy and resell

    Default probably a simple intake leak or

    intake gasket, I doubt the dealer took effort on a trade in car and just wants it off his lot.
