Cranks but won't start. No error code
Hi everyone,
I have a 2008 e350. It cranks but will not start. When we plug in a diagnostic tool, it doesn't show any error messages.
So far we have tried replacing the crankshaft position sensor and are now looking at the fuel pump relay as a possible suspect.
Putting a few drops of gas in the air intake will start the engine.
Also, if the car is cold, such as in the mornings, the engine will start without a problem.

Also, you should consider changing the title to "Car cranks but only starts when it's cold." The more descriptive the better. Maybe someone else has had a similar issue.
