Angry W115 240D wont run.
I just bought a 1976 240D for 350$. The guy said the injection pump had been rebuilt but that it needed to be timed. The car will start after about 15 seconds of cranking, but after it starts it will die within 4 seconds. Is it the pump timing or something else? Maybe the fuel injectors?

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!

THANKS!!

Talk to Master 240 nicely and he will be able to advise you whether to part the car out or restore it to its former glory.

Post more details about your car. Mileage, service records and body condition.
