[W126 Coupe] 560 SEC Cutting Out

[Jay Manek]

Hi,

The car starts instantly, sometimes stalls again but then normally on the second attempt will be fine. 

Im pretty sure something is telling the fuel to shut off.. when the problem first occured, nothing would start the car unless i jumped the pins on the fuel relay... the car had no issue if pins 15 and 47 were jumped... 




Many Thanks & Regards

so is it re-starting straight away?  The big question is are we fuel or spark...  

or, if a bad sensor is telling the car that it's rev'ing too high and the ICU is shutting the ICV..

  Hi guys,

  Well i swapped Crank Sensor and the EZL... at first I thought id got it as one of the connections was green...but just getting the car out of the garage and it stalled on me.

  Its getting pretty annoying! Any ideas guys? 


  I ordered a crank sensor from mercedes but they sent me the TDC sender instead.. When i told them, they said a new crank sensor was over £200 GBP.. so i swapped both the EZL and crank sensor from my donor car. 
  So any idea where this TDC sender goes? Its a probe, looks like the crank sensor and the other end has a 3 pin rectangular connector... may as well change it now ive paid for it!


  Many Thanks & Regards

  Jay,
   
  About the cutting in and out; have you checked the EZL?
   
  Not a part that seems to fail a lot on the M117, but I've had a lot of EZL issues with the M119 engine in my car and those are the exact symptoms.

  Hi All,

  Ok im struggling with my 560 SEC.. 

  Basically it just cuts out at low revs.. it will idle for hours without an issue but when driving it cuts out when approaching a junction.. sometimes when approaching a junction at low speed and other times just when pulling away..

  I have swapped the Idle control unit and Fuel Pump Relay.. but no difference... 

  When this first started happening, the car would not restart and the fuel pump would not run, I had to jumper the pins (i think 15 and 47?) to get the fuel pump to run so I could get home.. It did this even with the brand new relay... but recently it seems to restart immediately... 

  HELP!!



  Many Thanks & Regards

  Jay Manek
