Arthur,
It is great to have a guru helping out with the diagnosis
I will add a couple more comments/questions below:
Quote:
-Fuel injectors (leaking and flooding the cylinders)
-Fuel pressure regulator (not holding pressure)
Fuel pressure test
|
Can this test be done by an independent mechanic with common tools or would only an authorized MBZ dealer be able to do it? Would you say this is a common issue with these fuel injection systems?
Quote:
-Engine wiring harness (doubt it since the cars runs perfectly)
Very probable
|
Ouch! Are there some common areas of the harness I can inspect to see if it a bad one?
Quote:
Crank sensor heat soak possible.

I didn't know this was possible. So the crank sensor can get too hot and malfunction?
Thanks again for the advice
