Status: offline Ok, I have an 87 300SDL. I am having problems with acceleration. If I stand on it it spins up to 4500 rpm (with 14lbs boost from turbo, so it is working), but no power. It dogs going up hills and don''t try to beat a yellow light. Since there is air I am thinking it is a fuel problem. It sometimes is missing and runs rough at idle. Any suggestions?
