Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / December 2005Low idle and oil pressure when engine warms up
Hello all, I have recently seen a low idle and oil pressure with my 1993 190E 2.3L when the temperature is above 80C and the car is idling. The rpms which usually at 7000 rpms at idle get to 5000 and below 5000, the engine is ready to stall. The oil pressure shows at 1 bar and slightly below one bar. The car has 170K miles on it. Any ideas? Perhaps you have a bad (or hopefully just plugged) idle control valve. I've read that sometimes these can be cleaned out with carb. cleaner - otherwise a new one is more than $200USD.

Good luck :D I would add a fuel injector cleaner to the gasoline first to see if it clears up this problem.Ventil Sauber is my preference since it also contains naphta which is very good for removing carbon deposits.

I would hate to put that car into drive or reverse with an idle speed of 7000, drag racing maybe :>) I meant to say 700 rpms. I was off by a factor of 10. > > "The rpms which usually at 7000 rpms at idle get to 5000 and below > > 5000, the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I would hate to put that car into drive or reverse with an idle speed of > 7000, drag racing maybe :>)
