Wag-on G Member Date registered: Sep 2011 Location: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Vehicle(s): 84 280GE Posts: 18 | Engine won't rev pass 4K rpm My engine when reved up it cuts out as if running out of gas, it won't stall gut icauses it to jerk when driving. If in parked and its rsved up it does the same thing just as if was starved for gas. Otherwise the engine runs fine, I had some trouble staring but if I start it and give it a few minutes to let the idle regulate it self then its all good and no isues. I'm at loss at what it could be causing it tto sputter when it hit around 3900-4000 rpm's. Any ideas as to I should check? | ||

I've look so many distributors I can't recall if it has that too. It would be inside the distributor and earlier Mercedes 280 dist sometimes had an issue with the mechanism getting corroded. | ||

I found that the problem was ignition module, simple to change. Hope this helps you. | ||

Wag-on G Member Date registered: Sep 2011 Location: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Vehicle(s): 84 280GE Posts: 18 | Re: Engine won't rev pass 4K rpm Thanks for the input and this weekend I'll be changing the fuel filter and do a tranny oil change and filter. I'd like to change the TC oil as well but not entirely sure yet of which to use. I've looked for the Red Line locally and can't find it anywhere, tomorrow I'll let checking out another supplier for a good synthetic substitute to the R/Line. Thanks again and I'll post the changes if any on the rpm's | ||
