Non start my dad has a 1995 merc c220 petrol auto. the other day the engine stalled while driving along and wouldnt restart. it was left for an hour then was able to start. when i got the car home i had it running for about 40 mins then it cut out again and now it just wont start. i have checked for a spark and found it wasnt sparking. i have checked out the crank pos sensor and all checks are ok but tried a new anyway but still do not have a spark. any ideas? thanks keith. also the car has done 170,000 miles and the auto box fluid and filter have never been replaced (not sure if this will help) many thanks keith

My car cut off when I was driving it then it hesitate to start up

no car told ,100 years of makers and 100,000 models not told
no year told either (is this a test?)
only generic answer possible
engine stalls. is what this is called. must be restarted after the stall
is this a gas engine,? (petrol or diesel, propane,LNG, EV or what?)
or pure ethanol in Brazil./?
FOR GAS? (WILD GUESSED)(Means petrol too)
  • ENGINE HAS CAM BELT AND IT SLIPPED. 1 CURE.(belt)
  • SPARK IS WEAK AND NEVER HAD TUNEUP EVER.
  • FUEL PRESSURE IS TOO LOW. ,3 CAUSES.
  • Air filter packed fuel filter packed, up, no service ever done.
  • EGR stuck open, seen massively 1990 cars. or older
  • Cats melted and vacuum tests are pure horror show.
  • alternator dead and poor battery drained and crank starter is dead and spins slow.
  • bad fuel (or wrong put in)
  • water in the fuel common on diesels. or kids filled dads tank with water hose. LOL
  • I have 20+ tests to do, with near that many tools. I refuse to post 100page answer here.
  • can the stall be avoided , if fast right foot actions?
  • did stall happen slow or fast, slow for fuel,, fast for spark dead
  • did the engine shake hard at the stall, like a wet dog?
  • did you ford a stream or wash the engine with water?
  • and so on, cars are simple to drive and hard to fix.

My Merceds W202 C220, it only crancks but doesnt start. i've changed spark plugs but still wouldnt Start

You are either not getting fuel or the crankshaft position sensor has failed. on some mercedes the fuel pump will not run if the computer does not see rpm. so the easiest and cheapest attempt to repair is replacing the crankshaft position sensor. it is located at the back of the engine near the transmission bell housing.

Hi there,i have a c200 elegance 2005,i seem to be having problem after problem and my pride and joy is becoming a money pit!! well here goes,it wont rev past 3000 revs, i was told this would be the mass...

You must be having a check engine light or maintenance coming up on the dashboard, if yes the best way to start troubleshooting this problem is to run a diagnostic test on the vehicle.Also after changing the mass air flow meter did you reset the ECM ?If not then this is required after any repair you do.Hope this helps.
