2002 clk430 starting problems

Can anyone give me some advice on my car. When I got the car it had been in a small fender bender. so I replaced the water pump, fly wheel, serpentine belt, ac condenser, and radiator, now the car wont start, it cranks but wont start, is there a reset button or sensor that needs to be changed?

First you have to determine if the engine is getting spark and fuel\pressure---that starts the diagnostic chain-----do you have both!!

The flywheel or flex plate is on the rear of the engine. If it was the front its a damper or harmonic balancer. Check all the wire connections and grounds.

You need to get it scanned.

You can tell by the VIN, the motor is upgraded and hand built, upgraded suspension, brakes, ECU, TCU, seats, instrument cluster, etc.

Anyone can buy the logo but the cars are "special" and if maintained are worth the extra cost, same applies to the V12 600's
