My w123 300d just started dying at stops and dying out while driving. NEVEr a problem in the 8 years I have owned her. It just happened out of the blue..linkage looks good/timing has been good..SIGH! That happened yesterday afternoon, now today she just trys to start w/no firing up..NEVER ever has this happened..

Just changed fuel filters 6 months ago, looks normal in pre filter with some junk in there. My oil may a little low, can that be a cause, low oil in engine?? I was hoping mayby something easy, however my luck has been so good with this car, I suppose a BAD thing (expensive repair) is due.

No leaks at fuel lines/fuel pump/injector lines. Its just weird that for years I can set my watch and stand by this damn car and it ALWAYS starts and runs like a champ. Shouldnt something have shown me that there was an imminant challenge to be foreseen? Do fuel injectors just gum up out of the blue( i do add some cetane and diesel adds)?

Haynes says several things, fuel relay/injectors/timing/valves...AHG!!! I feel like the perrenial Charlie Brown..LOL..Any ideas, I need my daily driver or cant get to work..I will have to have her towed in to indy ASAP if I cant fix or at least try to...
