What next? 200 1980 posted by  Dylan Berichon on  Thu Oct 30 01:55 CST 2003 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Fri Nov 20 18:36 CST 2009 [RELATED] I just put a new cap, rotor, and a new set of plugs and wires in my '80 245DL, hoping it would cure my "runs very gutless when cold, but mostly fine when warm" problems. Well, I take it for a bit of a ride, and it's driving exactly the same way. I just can't get any power. I'll floor it, and it will SLOWLY rev higher, even in neutral. Now, I don't know what the next step is. Also, when the car is warming up, it sure shakes a lot. The shifter shakes around and around and around... (It's a stick). It revs a fair amount lower then it does when fully warm too. (Not sure how much, since my tach doesn't seem to be very accurate.) Any ideas? I don't know where to go from here. Thanks as always.
