Hi Shansa, I would suggest you take the vehicle for a diagnostic scan. That will determine and pin point the problem. I would think that if the vehicle is fitted with the constant injection type of system, the problem could be flooding. If that is the case it will be better for a new fuel distributor to be fitted. If someone has tried to adjust the unit, it needs to be taken to a technician to reset the delivery valve setting, if not, its probably showing signs of wear. The symptoms you describe are common to flooding and what would happen if the fuel is wetting the plugs and stopping ignition. The time elapse you relate would give enough time for the fuel to evaporate and then allow the engine to start. Regards Johngee10

Testimonial: "Hi Jogngee10. I haven't use this FixYa website for a long time, and i forgot that i have it. Now i opened again and I saw that you have given me advice for the simptoms for my car. And you are right. I have fixed that problem last year. And that was distributer problem. Mechanic changed distributer cap and problem solved. but after i spent 800 changing petrol pumps for nothing. Thank you very much for your right suggestion but I should open this site earlier. If you were near me, I would shout the lunch. Thank you very much."

1992 mercedes 300e cranks over starts for a second then die

Could be a number of things. Start with the fuel pump relay. When your key is in the start/crank pos. it overides the relay as soon as you release the key to run possition the relay has to stay ingaged or the fuel pump will shut off. Also look in your owners manuel for impact or emergency fuel shut off switch reset.

How to reset abs light on 1992 300e mercedes. My car was parked on the street. One day when I started it

In all of the other forums the mechanics talk about replacing or checking the fuses on the OVP which is the Over Voltage Protection Relay located on the right side of the engine compartment behind the battery. That might be a good place to start checking.

LOCATE FUEL FILTER ON 92' MERCEDES 300E

There is an in tank fuel screen where the fuel feed line screws into the bottom of the fuel tank. The is also a convertional fuel filter which is located just in front of the rear wheel on left or right side depending on model. I have a wagon and mine is on the right side. There is a plastic panel that you need to remove with a 10mm socket and a long extention. There are three screws to remove before you can get to the fuel pump/fuel filter area.

I believe you need to see your dealer or authorized mechanic. Inertia/Safety switch is not user resettable like other makes.
