D jet problems continue

Hello

I would gratefully accept your advice on my w108 3.5 which continues to stall when warm and then cannot be started (won’t even turn over). Therefore can only drive for distance of around 2-3 miles. 

have checked MAP and is fine 

my mechanic is also stumped.

please advise next steps!

I had this problem earlier and it has now recurred 

Hi Unknown,

I cannot address you directly as I do not have your first name.

If your starter does not even turn, then it has nothing to do with injection. You have an electrical problem with your wiring harness or battery.

Dear Dr,

Sorry for the unclear symptoms. The car will start and run well when cold. When the engine is warm it will cut out at idle. Then it will turn over for a short period and then fail to turn over. If one leaves the car for an hour or two it may start and then the cycle repeats.

I wonder if somehow engine is getting flooded during warm idle ?

Kind regards

Hemal

Occasionally there will also be sawing of idle when cold but infrequently.

Unfortunately I do not have much experienced mechanics in such vehicles in my areas so not sure how to proceed

Best,
Hemal

Hi Hemal,

I am Volker, also a Dr. but that is a different story. So please just call me Volker.

Maybe I fall over your word "engine turns over". I interpret that it does stop running, Then it cranks slowly a little and then even cranking does not happen.

Hi Volker,

Yes you are correct. So you don’t believe it’s a D jet problem?

Kind regards

Hemal
