300CE won't start, botched tune up
Amazing how something so simple can go so wrong. 1990 300ce running kind of rough, idles poorly. Decided to change rotor, rotor cap, plugs, injectors, seals, seats. Rotor and cap looked like old welding parts on the inside, really burnt and arc traces. Plugs didn't look much better, twice the gap, really burnt and electrode about half the size of normal.
Injectors were a little more work. Had to remove the throttle body and injector assembly to acces number 3&4 injectors. They looked in bad shape and partially plugged on some.
Very pleased with myself about 4 hours later. Let the ignition on for a few seconds to pressurize the fuel system, turned off and did it a couple more tiimes. Cranked over the ignition and it ran beautifully for about 2 seconds.
Cranked again and again and again. Nothing. Cracked the bleeder screw on the top of the fuel dist. fuel ran out under pressure. No sparky? Any clues for the misguided? Thanks!
