This weekend has been very productive! All of my vehicles are at least turing fuel into noise. Now it is time to make it useful.
I put the fuel pump back in my Benz (it was out because I thought it was problematic). I adjusted the lever that actuates it and it now starts, but it runs rough. -White smoke -Knocks more than a diesel should -Has no power (less then before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) I made sure to NOT crank the engine with the pump removed and to keep the pump shaft from rotating so as to keep the orientation of the shafts in both correct. I may be off a little in my adjustment, but adjusting it will be a shitty task and I would like some veriffication that it is out of adjustment from someone more knowledgable than I before I go a bleeding all over the engine again. In summary: - Do the symptoms scream of any particular problem? - any advice? Thanks all! |

Have you checked the fuel pump timing? I just sold off my 240D stuff, including the fuel event timing nozzle. To change timing, you need a crowbar.. (I love the Germans).... You loosen the mounting nuts, then pry on the pump using the block as a fulcrum. Advance/Retard as needed, the fuel lines will fight against the pump moving (they are rigid tubing), so you will need to slightly "overbend" to get the right position. Timing virtually NEVER changes, it really just necessary when you change a fuel line, or pull the pump (if the lines get bent while pump is off).
gotta love mechanical injection |
