'87 190E - starting after being down awhile
I drug a '87 190E over to try to get it going. The owner tells me that it was leaking gasoline at the back of the car so I told him I'd take a look at it. After getting it to the house I found the car has been sitting for 2 years and the fuel has gone to heck. I drained/blew all the old crap out and about the only thing I have found was the vacuum line on the fuel pressure regulator was broken and the fuel pump seems to be inoperative. The only thing that looks like there may have been a leak is at the fuel hose manifold area at the filter/pump connection. Anyone know the part number?
I am going to get the fuel delivery system working and then start troubleshooting everything else. .
Anyway, are there any thoughts on how a Bosch fuel distributor holds up to this type of treatment? Any precautions or maintenance type things I should do while getting the fuel delivery going? The mileage is only showing 135k but you can tell there has been some neglect.
