The car just won't start.....kicks like it wants to. The car acted like the fuel filter was clogged. Replaced it...it ran for 15 minutes and then died. Any suggestions where I should look? Got spark. I used to work with Honda's. Same thing....it was usually the ignitor. I don't want to guess. The Honda's would give spark....but it wasn't enough.....could this be the same thing on Mercedes?

 

doubt it has anything to do with the ignition system. sounds like fuel pump, related parts, or related relays

 

Cracked fuel line and got plenty of fuel coming to injection pump. Seems very very little fuel coming out of injection pump. I will be getting a fuel pressure gauge this week to determine if I have enough pressure. Does anybody know the correct pressures? I'm old school, got spark, got fuel.....should run. Help!!!!!

 

Finnally got it... didi a complete tune up and decided to change the coild. the spark didn't look that strong.....changed the coil.
Started right up.
Now .....this car is a 4matic and my hydraulic fluid level is low......what type of hydraulic fluid is to be used? the dealer hasn't called me back yet (sounded like a kid)....
