Re: [MBZ] $600E320 almost strands me

OK so I went out and jiggled the wire to the CPS and the car fired right up and ran fine.  Maybe the sensor is going bad or the wiring/connector are lose or something.  I guess I'll order another one, only $25, and replace it.  Maybe put some dielectric grease in the connector too if there was

I've swapped it proactively on this van and prior.   (along with sprk plugs) Can't find the CPS on any of my  1966 to 1992 Diesels. Floyd Thursby via Mercedes February 3, 2020 at 11:29 AM Yesterday I drove the car, started twice, no issues.  I get home, jump in

Thanks, I looked it up on Benzworld and found a good post, although the pictures seem to be broken, but enough info to figure it out. --FT On 2/3/20 1:06 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: It’s located on/in the flywheel housing, typically at or around the 11 o’clock position looking rear to

Re: [MBZ] $600E320 almost strands me

Yesterday I drove the car, started twice, no issues.  I get home, jump in about an hour later to go out, crankie but no startie.  No CEL.  Jiggled wires around again, still no starties...  Not sure what the issue might be. Where is the CPS?  I see where this is a common issue, maybe I should

99. I went out and put the wifi OBD reader on it.  Had some code for secondary air injection system which I cleared.  Car started fine and ran ok, threw no codes, all the parameters it could see while running looked fine.  I'm guessing there is some loose connector somewhere, maybe got wet

I'm wondering if that car has a disposable wiring harness that has degraded. Haven't researched that for my '95 wagon yet. Max Dillon Charleston SC Feb 1, 2020 10:52:26 AM Floyd Thursby via Mercedes : > Last night I was leaving Costco and it would not fire off. Crank fine > but no petrol

[MBZ] $600E320 almost strands me

Last night I was leaving Costco and it would not fire off. Crank fine but no petrol explosions.  It had been raining hard when I drove there so I was thinking there was some water somewhere, or loose connection to something. Got under the hood and just started jiggling wires and connections
