Guys what is this noise?!?!? Video to go with it.

So history:

1987 190E 2.6. I had the car running by only changing the OVP fuse. Well I started to do maintenance on it and poured a bottle of fuel infector cleaner in the tank and then it stopped running. I replaced both fuel pumps with brand new ones. Let me know if you need anymore history...here's the noise:

Your help and experience is much appreciated.

The car has been sitting for a year and a half but it had very little gas in the tank so I poured about 3 gallons of 93...but I suspect when I poured the fuel injector cleaner in it as well it had a bad reaction with the gas in the tank. I have already replaced the fuel filter as well.

1993 190E 2.6 Auto
Have you tried topping off the tank with 93 octane? I had bad gas in one of my cars before (from sitting for about a year) and it did all sort of weird things, ran like crap, misfired, stalled, etc. After a few fill ups the issues worked themselves out...

Sounded like the starter motor wasnt disengaging - pull it out and clean/replace the solenoid

Well that was me trying to start the car...it wasn't actually running just turning over so the starter was definetly engaged the entire time while I was cranking it.

Car wasn't running in that video it was cranking. I've seen it run and the engine doesn't move like that normally. Thanks.

I think I'm going to drain it all the way and pour in a few gallons of fresh 93.

bump...does anyone know what that gut-wrenching screech is. It sounds like it's near the oil filter.

Check to see if the CIS-E Hub inself is clogged.... (Where the fuel goes, then splits off to the different injectors.) Sounds like its only fireing on a 2-4 Pistons (Not saying thats the noise)

Yes the car was running for a few seconds and only exhaust pipes for 1-2-3 were hot. 4-5-6 were completely cold.

So now that fuel splitter...I can just take it apart and clean it out? Do I have to replace any gaskets?
