"The starting capacitor looks blown up (swelled on the top)..." Cap is the most probable cause but also check the relay (contactor) contacts for bugs and dirt.

I changed the small fuel filter ....which was clean. It looked like the fuel line may have been collapsing So i messed around, traveling the georgia darkness at about 40 mph for 20 or 30 miles till i got to a well lit place. I dug deep in my car and found a new spin on fuel filter and filled that with ATF and primed well .....presto, 70 mph the rest of the way to savannah It was a troublesome trip, but the travel is the result, i guess!! NOW, for heat wave content, i've been sweating for a day here at the beach since the central ac here at the house is not firing up. The starting capacitor looks blown up (swelled on the top) so i can only hope changing that will fire up the compressor again so i can be cool!! stay cool!! thanks, xx rick Rick Hawkins _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
