How to remove fuel distributor from w126 280se benz

The fuel distributor is mostly mechanical. It does however require a few signals from a small computer for idle speed and mixture adjustment.. I would look close for broken/chewed wires. Does the air flow meter move freely? Thats the large plate right in the middle of the distributor.

Its a canister type filter, a couple of combination wrenches should be used to remove it. I would look at your fuel pressure regulator and fuel distributor and make sure the fuel pumps run.

Your distributor bushing is bad, causing the distributor to wobble when running. Get it checked out for repair and/or replace the distributor. Take off the cap and check the play in the shaft that the rotor is attached to first.

This is an interesting part, and I spent quite some time to fix the problem. I list it here those steps in the order could fix the problem ranging from least expensive to most expensive steps. It just happened to me the last one really eliminated the problem. 1- Make sure it gets turned up first. 2- Adjust cables to increase idle. There are two cables. You remove the air filter to see them clearly. a- one for the gas, the other for transmission. b- clean the area well so you can see a micro switch. This switch called cut off switch. c- whatever adjustment you make, the level of the switch has to press on the switch to maintain the idle. If you see it off, you can bend the metal part to keep it in place 3- Take off the Fuel distributor to clean the throttle below it. 4- Replace all the injectors. These are not Electronic Fuel Injectors so you don't have to deal with Injector module. 5- Replace the fuel distributors. Good luck.

replace fuse and relay if that doesnt work check fuel pump itself. If your getting fuel to fuel distributor then refurbish it or replace it.

Check Injectors spraying Fuel when you start. Fuel pump prime because you hear the pump. IF pump is weak, then your Fuel distributor doesn't have correct pressure to spray fuel when injectors open. Do your sparks plug wet after trying several times. If they are dry then you don't have fuel. Replace injectors If they are wet then you don't have correct air:gas ratio of 14.6:1. Replace Fuel distributors

When were plugs, wires, cap, rotor and coils replaced? fuel filter another culprit. Fuel distributor is another problem as it is mechanical in your year. Fuel injectors also could be an issue but easily rebuildable. More info wold help but fuel delivery and ignition parts need to be checked and replaced for us to help more.

hello,you have 6 cylinder engine,fuel pump is working,how about the fuel pressure? if pressure is ok,try to clean the distributor cap and rotor ,try to start your engine if not remove your plug,check your plug ,if fuel is presence ,check your ignition system,or vise versa,ty

mlcv22: You are asking about the fuel distributor or the EHA valve?
I want to point out that more often than not, the fuel distributor is blamed for what is actually a problem with the EHA valve
(electric hydraulic actuator) That is a black plastic kind of square part held on with 2 small bolts which us a flat blade screw driver or some used a n allen wrench. When you remove it, there are two small "O" rings which usually stick to the fuel distributor.
As for the costs of these parts?
The list price on a fuel distributor is $2,600.
The EHA valve retails for $374.00
These are new from the dealer, You can price remanufactured fuel distributors from parts houses OR buy one from a salvage yard. Usually the fuel distributor will come with an EHA valve on it.
You can buy these on ebay, I found a complete remanufactured unit including the EHA valve for $299.00
The $50.00 question Why do you need a fuel distributor or EHA valve?

$1000.00 or so but I think I would have it re-annalysed
