Air Injection System: Description: Notes

All 1980 Mercedes-Benz gasoline engines are fuel injected, using a Lambda sensor feedback system to reduce emissions. The air injection systems now are designed to alter the exhaust gas oxygen level and "force" the electronic control unit to alter air/fuel ratios. This helps the engine to idle smoothly and run well during warm-up. System components differ according to model, as listed.
