Today I tell the tale of how I fixed the mystery misfire in my W210 E55 after several months of intermittent problems. Thankfully only $6.99 was all it took and I am happier than ever!

Everyone that says "check compression" are the same ones that will say "you dont need to run premium" when a car say to run premium. The car companies dont benefit from you using premium but they do benefit from you causing a knock that blows up your engine and then needing a new car because your cars toast after that.

@Donny Winslow They sure have and also I think the W210 is certainly been in the upswing as I bought mine in 2018 for $2800 (rock bottom I think) so here in a few more years I think it will get to new highs, perhaps need the W211 to start raising up for people to realize they are too late for the W210 E55s thus making them rise sharply. I have seen several sell for some pretty high prices already though.

My 2003 S55 is doing the same thing. Really riding rough soon as I decelerate and get low RPMs and idle. You can feel The engine jolting and shaking, really rough idle! Soon as I get over 1200-1300 rpm’s it really goes away. Don’t notice anything at higher rpm than that. It’s intermittent too. I’m gonna try this today! Thanks for the vid

@BaldManMotors Жыл бұрын

@Dylan Salfer I hope you find your issue soon, hopefully its just a vacuum leak or perhaps a something like bad MAP sensor. Correct me if I'm wrong but thinking the 2003 S55 doesn't have a MAF right? I also like to run some injector cleaner as well. Sometimes some fresh spark plugs or coils can help too and of course bad motor mounts don't help idle either. Best of luck🤙

I have a 2001 E55 AMG and I've noticed dead spots in my throttle. I hooked up a code reader which showed the TP sensor and found three dead spots when pushing the throttle down with the car off. I bought a new throttle position sensor and that didn't fix the issue. I replaced the throttle body from a Pick-A-Part place and still the same issue. Have you ever experienced that and if so what was the cause? Funny thing is taking a right from a stop held the throttle down at a quarter it fixed itself and it got a second gear scratch. Please help.

@JK-AUTO 2 жыл бұрын

The mats would be amazing but sadly I'm in Europe. Would be interesting to know if the original mats in my car (which I don't have) had the green edges to match the seats? I've heard there's at least 3 different colored edges for these mats, red, blue and white/silver? However my favorite Merc is a tie between the SLR Mclaren Mercedes & 300 SL Gullwing. Interestingly the SLR had the M155 engine which started out as M113. :)

@BaldManMotors 2 жыл бұрын

@JK-AUTO Does your seats say designo on them? Green is a bit unusual interior color, I have also seen brown edged W210 mats that say designo instead of MB or AMG for the light brown nappa leather seats. Just curious since you have a rare color perhaps you have designo options? Yeah the McLaren SLR sounds amazing and is great to have related engines :)

What were your specific symptoms you had with the worn out conductor plate?

@BaldManMotors Жыл бұрын

@John Hall It was having trouble shifting, slow to shift then a harder shift at non-normal intervals so each acceleration was a new experience of sorts and then eventually locked in to 2nd gear limp mode. The speed sensor on the center of the conductor plate is the culprit usually with these. It got worse withing about 1-200 miles and went into limp mode. Some people just start the car once day and the issue is there as well. Hope that helps.

@garyzhang5099 Жыл бұрын

Just a bit update for people probably have the same issue. The problem turns out to be two bad coil that cause partially misfire (one connector is fine, the other one have some sort of corrosion inside, and I use engine smoothness running meter to find that since there is no actual misfire) and the oily KN filter make my MAF sensor dirty. So after change a new MAF and a set of Bosch coil pack and a set of clean air filter, it back to normal
