3ltr will run OK then cut out (no warning) will start when cool.

timing might be off, diesels are very sensitive to timing. or could be air in the fuel somewhere. i like to clean the air out by loosening fuel lines one at a time on each injector and tighting after fuel comes out while someone else tries to start it or while its running really rough from one cylinder not getting fuel.

It'll pay to have the crank sensor checked. They're known for heating up and stalling the car when they're no longer any good. Usually once it has cooled down the car will start but as soon as the sensor gets hot it'll stall again

You will need to figure out if you are lacking spark to the plugs or fuel to the injectors to know which system to test.

Many cars have this feature. The fan will run for a few minutes at a time until the coolant in the radiator drops below a certain temperature. Most vehicles with this feature will have a warning label on the radiator shroud indicating that the fan may start without warning when the engine or radiator is still hot. The only time you would need to be concerned would be if the fan continues to run without turning itself off, and causing the battery to be drained.

Sounds like the Brake Safety switch. It is attatched to your brake pedal on the back, call your local Mercedes mechanic ask if they have one. Easy to replace and under 50 dollars.

I Have BMW 325ti Compact E46 2001 model and the eml light come's on and the car just cuts out

Replace the TFI module. Ford back in 1986 thur 1993 had problems like the one you wrote about. TFI module gets hot and shuts car or truck off then when it cools sometmies starts and sometimes not.

check all vacume hoses for splits.this sounds also like air being drawn from the fuel tank sender unit which could be corroded.is there a strong smell of fuel inside the car?this could also be a secondary jet being blocked in the carb if it has one.good luck

Hi Keith

Probably those little Jag gremlins at it again ?

First thing to do is clear the computers memory, which normally does the trick.

Disconnect both battery terminals, switch on the ignition to start 6 times, this wipes the computer memory, and then reconnect the battery, the Positive + first......... then the Negative -----

Start the car and go from there.

Suspect you had a low battery previously, and this tripped the warning.

Get the battery checked, if it is the original, as it is now 8yrs old, and should be replaced.


Good Luck !

A FixYa rating would be appreciated Thank you !
