How to Perform a Cold Crank on a Mercedes CLK After Winter Storage?
I have a Mercedes CLK 320 (W209) that has been in winter storage for about 7 months and I'm looking to perform a "cold crank" to build up the engine pressure and lubricate the internals before actually starting it.
I want to ensure the engine is properly lubricated by turning it over with the starter motor without firing it up a little better for the bearings i have read. What would be the best way to disable the ignition system to prevent the engine from starting while I do this? And of course a safe way ;) Thanks in advance for your advice! |
Maybe pull the fuse for the fuel pump?

Yes that might work however it might startup since the fuel rail is still full of fuel i guess? Maybe still the best option?

Not sure how much fuel pressure would be there since the cars been sitting for months.
I personally would just start the thing. Doesn't the car need to be running to build oil pressure? |

Possibly remove the coils? This would prevent the engine from starting but might also throw misfire codes.
