Hello,
I have 1982 300D, and it doesn't start. heres the story:
I got it in fall of 2006, and it was running quite well. i recently set it up to run on veggie oil. after installing the second fuel system, i tried to start it (on diesel) and it wouldn't start. i found an air leak in the lines, fixed it, and it started and ran fine. a few days later (i still haven't run any veggie thru it yet) the lube oil supply line to the IP popped off while i was driving . i caught it very fast, after driving for only about 5 min. but during that time it ran very low on oil. i had a more experienced mechanic check it out, and there was no damage to the engine, but the turbo whining quite a bit. I purchased a used turbo, and installed it.
when i started the car after installing the turbo it seemed to be running a bit rough. 10min later it stalled, and hasn't ran for more than 10sec. since. it cranks, fires, runs really rough for a few seconds, then dies. i checked fuel line s for air an found a few small bubbles before the IP. i checked the connections, and bled the whole system. its still didn't start.
I removed the injector lines where they come out of the IP and cranked it over. spurts port closest to the front of the car had no fuel coming out...

I'm on the verge of dishing out for a rebuilt IP, but i really wouldn't like to. anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Ethan
