what are the symptoms of a dead or dying EZL. Also is there a way to read soem codes on ym car at home, if so how? (93 300e 4matic m103 motor)

 

anyone?

 

doesnt the ezl leak if its starting to die?

 

i have no idea thats why i'm asking

 

I know the EZL has some limited fault memory capabilities. We always use equipment in the shop so I am not sure if the impulse counter etc. will help you. Others may know.

With your problem this may be a possible cause. Unfortunately your problem is not something common to these cars so you will either have to be proficient with testing when it fails or resort to parts replacement. The ignition system is pretty basic. Crank sensor, EZL, coil and the secondary ignition system(cap & rotor,wires,ends,plugs,etc.) If it fails every time at temp, then a shop should have no problem diagnosing the problem.

 

I have no idea what this means. Maybe you are thinking EHA?

 

yeah, i think thats what i was thinking too

 

how do I read my cars codes?

 

If you have a M103 then there are no codes to read.

Trouble shoot the system with basic tools and meters as you're dealing with limited electronics and no real computer control.

 

oh ok, In another post someoen mentioned the EHA, what is it where is it, and how can i adjust it.

 

The EHA ( Electro Hydraulic pressure Actuator ) is located under the fuel distributor.

It takes a signal from the KE Control Unit and regulates the amount of fuel based on speed/throttle/temperature, etc that flows to the injectors.

Not meaning to be sarcastic, but "if you have to ask what it is, then you shouldn't try to adjust it"

Get it out of adjustment and you'll have many problems, from starting to idling, to accelerating and possible fuel leaking !!

What symptoms are you exhibiting ???

 

the car will get to temp fine, than just die.

 

Starts easily?
How is the idle before it dies?
Smell raw gas?
