Hello I’m new to this forum and I just recently bought a 1995 Mercedes Benz E320 (as sort of a project car), I was told that ONLY thing wrong is that the crankshaft position sensor is bad, but that is yet to be determined. Ideally I would like to do all the work myself on this car, I have all the right tools and decent mechanical knowledge.
Anyway, now I am at a point where I want to find the EZL, then I can hopefully follow the crankshaft position sensor plug on that, to the other side, which I’ve been told, is more difficult to find and access. Based on what I have read online, it sounds like the EZL should be located between the ABS module and the first firewall. But somehow I absolutely can not see anything that looks like pictures of the EZL I have seen.
I’m attaching a picture of that area under my hood and if someone can point out if I am missing seeing the EZL somehow, it would be greatly appreciated. Plus if anyone has done a crankshaft position sensor fix before, any tips are welcome!
A 1995 W124 E320 is equipped with the M104 engine and the HFM fuel injection system and as such there is no EZL module (although the M104-HFM does have both a crank position sensor and a cam position sensor). Everything, including ignition timing, is handled by the ECU. Before you go too far, verify that the wiring harness has been replaced as the 1995 suffers from the infamous ecco junk wiring harness problem. There is a date code on attached to the harness near the ECU (behind the battery)- it should be 1998 or later. If it has not been replaced, all bets are off until it is.
