Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / September 200496 E320 Starting Problem
Several times in the last few months I have had intermittent starting problems. The engine turns, but doesn't start. It eventually does start. Seems like its not getting fuel. I changed the fuel filter, and thinking about the pump. Does this car have a fuel pump relay? Any other suggestions? Thanks, All MB has fuel pump relay. Eventually starting as if you keep cranking. When does this happen? When engine is cold or hot? "Tiger" <tiger0002@hotmail.com> wrote in news:xvh1d.738$G03.1276714 @news4.srv.hcvlny.cv.net: > All MB has fuel pump relay.

Eventually did after about 8 trys and about 10 minutes. Last week it happened after work when the car had been sitting for 8 hours. This a sad note. I know someone who is having a similar problem with a 2000 M320. I feel it is more an indication of the lower quality and reliability of Mercedes, in general. > "Tiger" <tiger0002@hotmail.com> wrote in news:xvh1d.738$G03.1276714 > @news4.srv.hcvlny.cv.net: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > wouldn't start.

Sounds like overload relay is bad. >From: "Tiger" tiger0002@hotmail.com >Date: 9/13/2004 8:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time >Message-id: <r3r1d.8670$G03.2950586@news4.srv.hcvlny.cv.net> > >Sounds like overload relay is bad. What OVP ??. Ooops... I need to clarify something a bit more... when you said stop... you turned off the engine? Or it cuts out on you? If you turned the engine off, then you got hot start problem. Meaning one of your fuel injector is leaking. When the engine fails to start, is the engine cold or hot? "T.G.

Mostly hot, but has happened cold also. |
