I have a weird situation. I have an 87 260E with about (odo broke) 330,000 miles. I have owned it since 140K and have done very little to her with the exception of a cam (soft cam model) and injectors 10 years ago and an ETA (I think. The electronic module on the back of the throttle body) and fuel pump last year. Amazing car, still runs real strong, looks great, gets 24MPG and is a reliable daily for my 112 mi round trip commute. All she asks for is a quart of oil per 800 miles.

Last week I shut off the car and she would not start. I got her running by jumping out the fuel pump relay. Since she restarted the valves are making noise, singing. I pulled the valve cover and the injectors are all pumping up it has great oil flow and everything looks good. The only thing I did besides jumping the fuel pump relay was mess with the air/fuel.

It kind of sounds like I jumped time. Do you think this is possible with this engine? Funny thing is I drove it home 60 miles and it runs incredibly well, better than before. I am almost temped to use it.

Any Ideas/thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
