2006 C230 Won’t Start

Hello.. so my story starts like this. I bought a 2006 mercedes c230 drove it for about a week no problems. Suddenly I’m at a light and the cars slowly dies. The gas was low so I guessed that it ran out of gas. So I put about half a tank and nothing. So I read a few posts that said to check the fuse and the relay so replaced the relay and no luck. There’s spark on the spark plug so I figured it was the fuel pump that went out. I replaced it and still nothing. Got errors P0015, P2004, P0627,

Any suggestions other than going to the dealership?

2005 Mercedes c230
P0015: engine control module (ECM) has determined that the exhaust camshaft timing for bank 1 is more retarded than what the ECM has commanded it to be. The over-retarded timing condition can be during the advancing or retarding phase.

P0627: Fuel pump control - circuit open

Looks like you may have jumped time on one of the cams. Either that or the cam phaser (adjuster) on the exhaust side has gone out ($124 from any MB dealer).

I'd take the drivers side of the engine apart and see if you cant clean some things up, check your connections, maybe inspect the timing by taking the valve cover off and putting the engine at TDC. There should be 15 teeth between the top tooth of the exhaust cam and the top tooth of the intake cam. If there are any more than that you've jumped time, any less and you may have the opposite issue.

Did you clear out the fault codes after replacing the relays?
