1979 300SD- No Fuel to No. 5 Cylinder
We are working on a 1979 Mercedes 300SD, and are stumped. It came into our shop for rough idle with intermittent misfiring, and we found 3 injectors which were bad. We replaced them, and the vehicle was running MUCH better on a road test, however that only lasted for a few minutes. When we pulled it into the shop, it started to misfire, but this time it's a dead miss on cylinder 5, not intermittent at all. Cracking the injector line, there is no fuel from the pump. We can find no blockage anywhere, and can only surmise there is an internal problem in the pump. We are not wanting to spend $1000 on a rebuilt pump until we are sure that is necessary. Any suggestions?
