No power, rough idle
98 SL1, 165,000km
I have rough idle down around 500-750RPM (it usually idles just over 1000RPM). Very little power. When I floor it in neutral the RPM gauge goes to 4200 and pulses. Looking under the hood at lunch time and the PCV hose was cracked/split and flattened. I replaced the hose but that seemed to make it worse. I remember talk on here of cleaning the PCV vavle but the Haynes manual I have only says what it does, no mention of cleaning. My question is, what should I clean it with? compressed air, gasoline, methyl hydrate...? Or should I just get a new one? Does this sound like a dirty or defective PCV valve or should I continue to look for other causes? Any advice or suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Roy
