Hi, I have a 1988 Mercedes 260e. If the car has been sitting untouched for a few days, it will start first time and run without a problem. However, once the engine has been turned off and I try to start it again, the engine turns over but will not start. I've played about with it and discovered that the metal dish under the air filter (I don't know the correct names) seems to be getting stuck. As soon as someone pushes the dish down slightly whilst trying to start the engine, the car starts. Thanks to anyone who can help me get my baby back on the road. After replacing the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel relay on my 1988 190E and still having starting issues, we determined that the relay was not connecting well in its sockets. When jiggled the car would start. I'll be looking to improve this connection.
Does the engine turn over but not start or it does not turn over till cold? If the latter is the answer then your kick start is the problem. REPLY The car turns over but wont start.
have you tried replacing the cap and rotor?
Timing is probably off. Set number 1 piston at TDC and check the timing marks. If applicable, also remove cap from distributer and check position of rotor, it may need adjusting for correct timing.
Could be faulty ignition coils especially if engine starts when cold then stalls and will not start once warmed up.
Assuming it turns over ok...and has fuel... Tryreplacing the Crankshaft position Sensor...then the Mass Air Flow Sensor.
Out of gas? 99 vw passat will not start but turns over have full gas tank try to turn over
It is under the car in the rear, right side, just in front of the rear axle. There should be a plastic shield over it.
enter code 11122, that should work. I needed the radio code for my 1992 Mecedes 190E, after the battery had been disconnected, so I called the dealer, who gave me the 4 digit code over the phone, no charge. I called and the code they gave me was shorter for a 190e it is 1133
turns over strong. might start and run for a couple of blocks but then dies.
If the car turns over, gets gas and just will not start try the ignition module. CAR TURNS OVER
The 1987 Mercedes 190E features a conventional air conditioning system that uses a refrigerant to cool the cabin. Over time, components like the compressor, condenser, and evaporator may wear out or leak, affecting performance. Regular maintenance, including checking refrigerant levels and the condition of belts and hoses, is essential for optimal function. If issues arise, it's advisable to consult a qualified technician familiar with vintage Mercedes systems.
