Possibly out of time?
My car has been having a problem, it is a '79 Mercedes Benz & it died while I was driving it one day. I have replaced the coil & the fuel pump & filter & fuel pump relay. I can get it to start & run but when I put it in gear it dies. In order for me to get it to start I had to advance the timing is my problem most likely that the car has jumped time or is there something else that I am missing that I could fix myself, I am a fairly good mechanic but I have never owned a Benz before & the Mercedes place wants $140.00 just to look at it & unfortunately I don't have that kind of money right now because I am going through chemo therapy for cancer. So if there is any one out there that can help me here I would greatly appreciate it. AND AGAIN NO SMART *** ANSWERS PLEASE!!!

if it dies when you put it in gear you could have a problem with your alternator or your gear spacer i had the same problem with my 3500 duramax replaced the alternator and it runs now like new but i am not sure with a Mercedes those are 2 completely different vehicles but i hope this helps good luck with chemo
