So after charging overnight the battery in the 240d said it was fully charged. When it came time to crank it over, just slowly turned. Battery is obviously not up to snuff. I then stuck another battery in it that was questionable but I thought I would try it. It did the same think. Pulled the battery out of Blue Bell which thought was charged but it did the same. Well crap. I pulled that battery back out and put it on the charger. I then pulled the battery out of the 95 e300 which should be full charged and it turned over better and acted like it wanted to start, but soon ran down. Hmmm. I got out the wheel charger and put it on engine start, it cranked over full speed and lit off, instantly running perfectly smooth on all cylinders. It runs beautifully. A sigh of relief. I tried a few things, blower is not coming on and of course ac compressor did not kick in. I am now going to proceed to replacing the fuel return lines, replace fuel filters, vacuum lines, then take it out for a qui ck spin. I will say in thing about doing the fuel filters on this car, it got me to thinking I sure wish they had put a bleeder pump on the 60x cars. Sure seems it would save a lot of wear and tear on the starter and battery.
