Has there been any testing? What happens after it dies?? restart?

Restart & dies again?

How does the engine perform when it does run?

mcappi 07-15-2009 07:18 AM

no testing yet
 
I am picking the 190 up today. it has sat up fo awhile, the person I am getting it from said he drove it, then it would only run for about 5 minutes & now it only runs for about 2 seconds. could the filter be clogged? thanks, Mike

Fuel pressure is the key to a good running car with CIS injection system.

Since the car has been sitting (how long?) fuel delivery is the most probable issue.

pressure
 
I think it sat a couple of years. tags are '07. I'll check the pressure. thanks, Mike

I had the injectors cleaned (they were stopped up), it runs about 5 seconds now, then dies starts right up after then dies. need help how about the crankshaft position sensor?? thanks, Mike

Just b/c you have pressure does not mean you have spec flow...

Leave the pressure gauge on the car when it runs and see if it drops as the car stalls..............

Perhaps the fuel distributor has varnish/gunk in it from sitting so long?
