Mr. Dalton,

I am a friend of "girlpower" and will be the diy mechanic for this. I was reading your post in another thread ('95 E320 Won't Start) earlier today regarding a similar problem, and was thinking it may be the OVP as you suggested there. She really needs this fixed asap (she needs the car to commute to word an hour each way), so I was planning to pick up the "best guess" part tomorrow and put it in for her.

Here are a few other details on the problem:
-The car cranks with full power (newish battery), but will occasionally not start (seems no spark and/or fuel at all, but I haven't been there when this has happened).
-It shows P0341 (cam PS) and P0202 (injector 2) codes, and I am replacing the cam PS tonight after this reply. However, I tend to doubt that a cam PS would cause a no-start symptom.
-When it does start, it appears to run fine with no problems whatsoever (except once where it started a "low power" symptom (probably the CPS acting up at that point I suspect).

So with this new information, what do you think may be the best guess as the problem?

Many thanks,
Greg
