My father and I would like to thank you very much for helping us correctly understand and diagnose our 1988 560SL I'm currently restoring. There is a lot of CIS information out there but 90% of them didn't help us understand the operation of this complex design. Thank you again for helping us and others! sincerly Mark and William.
I have a 89 560 SL. The fuel distributor needs to be rebuilt There is no one in our area capable. Can you rebuild it if it is shipped to you? Your videos are outstanding. I’m a car guy but not on these. And don’t want to risk it. Let me know. Thanks.

Welcome What causes the engine to vibrate more when it is hot than cold? I ask you to make a video and mention all the reasons that lead to engine vibration
Pierre, also this only occurs on hot restart and when ambient temps are hot,no hesitation no trouble on starting cold and only 50, miles on this car. Injectors,caps,rotors,plungs ,EHA valve and Idle control valve new. Shop told me intake leak was caused and after repair, it still did same thing. Any suggestions,comment would be greatly appreciated. Last but certainly not least,excellent videos and keep up the great work. Regards from Calgary ,Canada
I have a 94 w124 problem it starts up fine in the morning but if I take a trip to the store and try to start it again … I have to step on the gas pedal to get it to start up again. I also smell a gas on the oils dip stick.
Hello quick question for you. Do you rebuild fuel distributors? I have a Mercedes 1992 Mercedes 300E with the 2.6 liter M103 if so where are you located? Thanks Walt,
Hi guys, What other cars during that period use? Is this fuel distributor too complicating that renders it ineffective and unrepairable. Dont think most mechanics know how it works now, and how to service this part. So w124 with M103 engines will be harder to maintain?
Aloha Pierre I have a 1990 420SEL with fuel issues that line up exact with what this 3 part video speaks of. I attempted to replace the seals and diaphragm that come with the simple kits but made it worse. Can you recommend a reputable place where I can purchase the fuel distributor and actuator? Any help is appreciated. Mahalo
Hi Pierre happy New year I have currently purchased W126 420 Sel when driving it yesterday while sitting at a red light the engine stopped through which I starit again and carried on down the road then it cut out again while driving the third time it cut out it would not start again any suggestion
excellent video, i'm just curious how to isolate a crank no start to a distributor? ie how can i find out the distributor is or isn't causing the problem. thanks
I take it you are referring to the electronic position sensor in the 1976-85 distributor. The only way to really check this is with an ohm meter. if the sensor is tootal open, then it's bad. These rarely fail. I find the ignituion control unit is usually the issue.
what would happen if the diaphragm is compromised? my air flow meter at times is all resistance and i hear no hissing sound of fuel spraying into the manifold
Hi Pierre I have a 1985 380sl. It was running and iddling hard but it drives. I messed up with the adjusting fuel/air mixture and now it wont start. I have a multimeter for duty cycle but how can I get it back to the original setting? Let me know if u have done it in tha pass Thanks
Hello, my 87 560sl is having problems with the FD. Car runs super rich. I changed the FD and it ran amazing. Then after sitting in the afternoon. It stopped running again and started running horribly. Any ideas?
High I have a 1988 420 sel Mercedes Benz and I'm not to sure if the timing is off or what the problem is..one day it was running just fine and I went to put gas and after doing so I couldn't get it to start back up it turns over and sounds like it wants to start but won't ..

Hi, I once bought a used 1974 450Slc for $1200 in 1999 kept it until 2002 I ended up donating it all because the car did not go forward nor in reverse, I towed it to a Mercedes dealer and they could not figure it out at the time, I assumed it would be the tranny, the car drove very nice I replaced the injectors with new Bosch $2000 replacements at the time at a Mercedes dealer. The car when I bought it had a potent odor of fuel in the interior of car every time I drove it . I would like to get a used 380 SL which year or years do you recommend .
Can you run the fuel pump on a separate line whit a different relay to only be on the key position to run . The fuel pump runs constant wen the car is running anyway and is not control by ECU is a independent system if you get a good relay and connected properly it should run wright???
technically you could....i have taken the ecu out of the equation before..you just need to change the trigger wire from an ECU wire to an ignition hot.
Hi. I've got an 83 MB 380SL. The fuel distributor is bad and I'm gonna get a new one. The part that you have looks very similar to mine. Does your connect to some below it like an airflow meter or something like that? I didn't know if this needs to be replaced in addition to the distributor. Thanks
Hi Pierre, Great videos,Hope you can guide me I have a 1986 560sl starts easily and runs smooth with no hesitation upon acceleration,warms up in about 3-4 minutes idles a little rough and has huge hesitation upon rapid throttle advance,I've changed plugs wires cap etc I've changed EHC fuel filter ,cold start valve any Thoughts?Rick
Hi RIck, please email me at mbownersforlife@bellsouth.net. It sounds like your Electrohydraulic actuator needs to be adjusted, or you may have a bad oxygen sensor- or likely, both
Hi, do you have a video on W107, CIS hot starting issues and fuel pressure testing? My 1979 450sl is not holding fuel pressure when I shut it off and is very hard to start once it is hot.
Hi Pierre, I just ordered myself a refurbished fuel distributor for my 300TE 24v. The supplier failed to inform that I also needed to order a new EHA until after they sent me my distributor. Would driving with a faulty EHA cause damage to the distributor? Or is it imperative that I also replace it before driving the car?

Hello, I recently bought a 1989 190e 2.6 Mercedes Benz it idles but when I give it gas it turns off I replaced spark plugs and rotor and also cleaned the distributor cap now I think it's a fuel problem either distributor or pump or filter please help
it sounds to me like the electrohydraulic actuator is either bad or has a blocked screen. The EHA is an expensive part, and when it fails it can cause such a lean mixture that the engine will not rev beyond 1100 rpm. you may also have a blocked catalytic converter, or you may hav a fuel distributor issue...the fuel distributor can be tested using pressure gauges, see link below: www.toolsource.com/fuel-injection-test-sets-c-1321_182_184/cis-kjetronic-fuel-injection-tester-p-91537.html?sourceid=googleps&gclid=CjwKCAiArK_fBRABEiwA0gOOc18T4YSI0OWnnOyxApG9PWZRpUlq-zXbQYNlpNUTyWJhaser5271-xoC5jwQAvD_BwE

Hi, Pierre! I have a 1988 300E that has not been run for 10 years. I drained the tank and replaced the fuel filter. I cracked the fittings at both the supply and return sides of the fuel distributor and have good pressure at both places, but, when I crack the fittings at the fuel injectors, I see that I'm not getting pressure there. Could ethanol/gasoline sitting in the distributor for 10 years have rotted the seals so badly that there would be no supply getting to the injectors?
GOOD day PIERRE..DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO ADJUST E.H.A or they called it electromagnetic fuel actuator of 190e 2.3l mercedes benz engine. it is installed at the back side of the fuel distributor.my engine can't accelerate meaning no power ...thanks
Hello Pierre, Can you tell me what the voltage should be at the idle control valve,and at the EHA valve. Having hot restart and stumbling issues on a 1990 SL500/ AMG 6LTR 280 KW. Please and thank you ,also where does this voltage and or signals come from?
Marino, voltage at idle air valve: minimum 7 volts, maximum 13.5- usually operates in the 11-12.5 volt range EHA: voltage should oscillate between +1 milli-amp and -1 milliamp these signals originate from the KE control unit and the KE control unit takes power through the over voltage protection relay. Both of these are located in the right rear section of the engine, under the large plastic cover. The hot start issue could likely be the following: -fuel pressure accumulator -lean mixture from electro-hydraulic actuator -a bad fuel pump check valve - a fuel distributor that is dumping its resting pressure back to the return side
Good Morning! I am the owner of Speed Trappe Auto Repair and I am having an issue with a Mercedes 560SEC. The Fuel Distributor is leaking fuel into the intake through the plunger. I have replaced all the seals inside the distributor, including the seal inside the plunger. It appears that it only leaks when depressing on the plunger. But i do not have any fuel leaking past the plunger to the injector ports! Any help would be amazing!
www.startekinfo.com/StarTek/outside/12253/disc%202/program/Engine/107/M117_56/073-120.pdf according to this..4th page down, a slight leak is permissible through the plunger. meaning its a controlled leak in order to lubricate the plunger and to stop from earing it out against the air flow meter
Hello! i have a mercedes 1988 300 ce coupe, the problems i am having is condensation in distributor cap and my idle sometimes fluctuates and if i let the car sit for 2 weeks or so it does not start just cranking over and over then the fuel gets flooded and just wont start and sometimes when i drive and come to a stop it stalls. its really frustrating. Any advice on the problem? And my light warning light stays on but all lights are working changed every globe.

Hello Pierre, Can you tell me what the voltage should be at the idle control valve,and at the EHA valve. Having hot restart and stumbling issues on a 1990 SL500/ AMG 6LTR 280 KW. Please and thank you ,also where does this voltage and or signals come from?
Marino,
voltage at idle air valve: minimum 7 volts, maximum 13.5- usually operates in the 11-12.5 volt range
EHA: voltage should oscillate between +1 milli-amp and -1 milliamp
these signals originate from the KE control unit and the KE control unit takes power through the over voltage protection relay. Both of these are located in the right rear section of the engine, under the large plastic cover.
The hot start issue could likely be the following:

Good Morning! I am the owner of Speed Trappe Auto Repair and I am having an issue with a Mercedes 560SEC. The Fuel Distributor is leaking fuel into the intake through the plunger. I have replaced all the seals inside the distributor, including the seal inside the plunger. It appears that it only leaks when depressing on the plunger. But i do not have any fuel leaking past the plunger to the injector ports! Any help would be amazing!
please contact Larry Fletcher at 251-929-3771. I think he would be able to help you moreso than I would!

according to this..4th page down, a slight leak is permissible through the plunger. meaning its a controlled leak in order to lubricate the plunger and to stop from earing it out against the air flow meter

Hello!
i have a mercedes 1988 300 ce coupe, the problems i am having is condensation in distributor cap and my idle sometimes fluctuates and if i let the car sit for 2 weeks or so it does not start just cranking over and over then the fuel gets flooded and just wont start and sometimes when i drive and come to a stop it stalls.
its really frustrating.
Any advice on the problem?
And my light warning light stays on but all lights are working changed every globe.
replace the rubber seal and backing plate underneath the distributor cap!
Thankyou Pierre i'll try that and i'll let you know how i went!
Much appreciated
