Fuel distributor aftermath.........

Guys,

I just recently changed my fuel distributor on my '85 190E. It was diagnosed with a faulty one. Anyhow, after changing it with a used one (60k miles), the car won't start. It will crank, but refuses to start.

So then I took the newer fuel distrubutor out and replaced it with my old one. And guess what? Still the same problem! Now I'm really in a deep hole.

Do I have to adjust the fuel adjustment screw? Theoretically, if I put the old part back on, it should fire up, right???



Any ideas that would put me out of my misery?


Thanks guys,
Vu

You need to adjust the new one with the method described in the D.I.Y. section. You will need a digital ammeter for this.

Public Enemy,

Thank you for replying. Since I don't have an ammeter, my best guess would be bringing it to the independent shop...........

You should break down and buy one. They aren't too expensive and real handy to have.

Alright, I had to local independant shop installed my newer fuel distributor, and the problem still persist!



Any ideas to what else can cause a problem of stuttering acceleration? Timing was checked, spark plugs and wires were checked, cap and rotors were checked...................Any ideas? EHA valve?

How did you remove it? Did you take out the airflow with the distributor? The reason I am asking is because there is a hose on the bottom that connects to airflow from idle control valve. Double check that the hose is attached securely.
