Told ja it was a K40 module issue. - anyway - its good that your car is in service again.

I helped a guy troubleshoot a similar issue across the world via skype. lol

anyway. How come you have a 104 in there in a 99-2000 model. The last cars with this were 1997.

Grounding is always the first thing I check. In fact, I'll go as far as loosen and retighten the grounds in the engine compartment. I don't care where the car is from, any time a metal gets wet, corrosion is suspect. It doesn't take much chemical contact to start the corrosion, and it will be where you cannot see it. (Inbetween grounding washers)

I also firmly believe that a good majority of repairs (r/r fuel pump, or this valve/sensor) actually get fixed by disturbing the electrical connection, until it happens again and the owner things it's a lemon,,,

Great to see a happy ending to an unfortunate situation.

By the way, the M104 was the inline 6 that ended in 1997 in the E320 and 1999 in the S320.

You have a M112 V6.

Love the pics. That interior is ultra clean.

Can you tell us where the K40 is located and maybe provide a photo? I am having issues with a '98 E300, and that was said to be the usual suspect.....Rich

Paul, Doktor Bert has an inline 6 in his 210 automobile. Look at the engine compartment picture again.

You're right. I thought he said he had a '99 or '00 E320 in a previous post.

His car is actually a 1997 E320 then.

The K40 is the unit in the front of the stack with (1) 40amp Maxi-Fuse and (5) 15 amp fuses...

I will look at the '98 E300 for that, and check the fuses. It may not be the problem, but worth a look anyway (seems to be a common problem, as I hear about the "K40" a lot).
