99 ml 320 runs rough please help
I currently have a customers ml 320 in my shop with 50k on it that cancels out # 2 injector after running for 30 seconds. I did the following things fuel pressure test , compression test , ignition system test ,replaced # 2 injector. It had pulse when i checked it. Little did i know that pulse whent away after 30 seconds. I called mercedes and talked to one of the guys in the shop and we went through everything he sugested that i put a air flow sensor on it so i did it didnt help. They actually told me if that dosent solve my problem they will take it back i was supprised to hear that. In any case does anyone have any sugestions? By the way the system i use is alldata and the only thing i found is that it is possible for the computer to cancle individual injectors if it detects a problem. Thanks for any help. If you can suggest a tech line i dont mind paying i just need to fix this thing.

Well I don't have an answer but I don't see anyone else saying anything so I will ask a question: What in the world would cause the computer to decide to shut down ONLY ONE injector? Is there ever a reason for this to happen? What the he** does an air flow sensor have to do with it? Are you sure it is just #2 shutting off and all others are fine? Is it always the same 30 seconds until shutting off?

First thing I would suggest, is to swap number 2 coil with number 3 or 1, and then see if fault/bad cylinder still occurs on number 2.
Do this and post back result. |

What would be the connection between a bad coil and the injector being turned off by the computer? If it detects a bad coil it turns off the injector? Then wouldn't that affect 2 injectors? And wouldn't it store a code?

As far as faults codes, yes it would definitely have fault codes stored. |

OK. Makes sense, but I thought that each coil drives 2 spark plugs like on my car. So a bad coil would cause 2 cylinders to fail.

There are six coils (one per cylinder) and twelve spark plugs (two per cylinder). |
