98 E300D engine stops running 4 minutes after startup if its cold
98 E300D has cut out twice when driving away a couple of minutes after start up and its below 80 deg Celcius.
It sounds like the ECU not giving the engine enough fuel if the engines cold but the engine shouldn't stop running altogether should it? First thought was fuel fitler then glow plugs (it has 121k on it now). Is there a fuel sender that has to be cleaned after so many miles? Thanx |

Is it running rough otherwise? Could it be dirty injectors? You did replace BOTH fuel filters, right? There is also a strainer in the tank that might be clogged up

The short answer is to check the shutoff valve and K40 relay.

I believe your '98 has the 606 motor like my '95, only turbocharged (I think). Anyway, I was having a similar problem - you could almost predict when it would die 3-4 minutes after a cold start.
I also had the symptom that when I opened the fuel tank I got a big hiss. Air going in or out I never quite figured out, silly as that may sound. Anyway, my problem was solved after I changed the lift pump - at the suggestion of others. This is a small mechanically driven fuel pump near the injection pump. Not very expensive and not difficult to change, except for access. I pulled my intake manifold(s). If you go to that trouble, you should also change all the plastic fuel lines while you're in there.
