SOS to all merc experts (esp storm)
my w210 e240(2001)has started giving a strange issue of late.
it starts fine (recently changed battery OEM), a bit higher rpm arnd 1300-1500 for the mandatory 20ish secs...thn drops arnd 1000....car starts jerking engine dies or just dies without any jerks or warning. if i keep the accelerator pressd to 1000 + rpm, all is fine...along with response etc....but as soon as the foot comes off the pedal(even after 5-6 mins) it just dies.
Importantly it does not restart at tht point in time,but restarts effortlessly next day.
please note that engine check light is constantly ON and does not go away.(abt a month back it used to come on but went away after a couple of restarts, and there was no issue of the engine dying either).
Need help, its kinda freaking me out
Thanks for ur help!
