The factory service manual is a great source not only for test procedures and correct operating specs, but for aiding in understanding how major mechanical systems work. If you can get hold of the FSM for your car, it'll be a good investment. As an alternative, since you have the M103 motor also used in W124 chassis, you can use the Polish website at the URL below. Simply select your model year, then go on to Engine Mechanical, then to CIS to find everything relevant to the injection system, including the fuel distributor and all the diagnostic test procedures for CPS and other components. Just a thought. (P.S. It's true I'm still learning about my car after 21+ years, but my I-net alias is actually a reference to my alma mater, now quite a bit more than 21 years ago. )
