1992 190E Dies no restart.
OK. Here we go, I am trying to diagnoise a friends, friend car without seeing it..
It is a 1992 190E Gas/petrol 2.6 runs for intermittent periods then dies and won't start. let cold soak/ sit awhile, about a few hours and it restarts.
They had fuel pressure checked when it was not starting and it had pressure.
To me it sounds like a classic ignition system electronic componet failure.
Is there a crank angle sensor on these cars? I know it has the distributor on the very front of motor. Located at end of cam. I don't think that distributor has a hall switch to tell coil when to fire, once again I think theres a C.P.S. sensor??
I know Mercedes pretty well and kinda remember the last one of these I worked on but I have slept since then..
I don't have any books or tech sheets on this one, anyone know this ignition system by heart??
All help appreciated!
