Anti theft

New member here in massive need of help I installed a new motor and transmission in my CLK 430 and now I cannot get it to crank due to antitheft system. It will crank over, but it won’t continue running. It cuts off immediately. What am I missing? What I’ll do I need to transfer over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What does your fuel pressure measure during cranking?

Are you getting spark at the spark plugs?

Yes I’m getting spark it will turn over and run for a second or two then cut off. If I put fuel into the throttle body I ll run until that’s gone fuel pump is operating but I have not idea psi. Filter is new and on correctly. Just wondered my if there was a security issue that would cause this t to do this. Thanks for the help

Check this thread for diagnosis: https://www.benzworld.org/threads/cl...olved.1722571/

it looks like since you achieved starter engagement, all items are “ok” from a security standpoint, assuming this post is correct. You might recheck the shifter to TCU connection and as well potentially upgrade the shifter to make sure the PRND signal is sending correctly.
