Why Won't My Mercedes Benz Diesel Start? - Part 2 by Kent Bergsma

can you use injector cleaner? my master tech teacher told me injector cleaners work great for cars and acctualy work..

My Mercedes had no problem starting, but what it would so is if I drive over 40mph, It would loose power. You can put it to the floor and nothing. Let it idle for a second, then it would be fine, until you went over 40. I was rather slow so what I did is clean out the Alda banjo bolt it was stopped up completely, did a diesel purge, replace the primary and secondary filters, and no it can cruise at 90+. Lubro moly diesel purge it some great stuff, all kinds of trash came out of my pump.

What should I do if i loosen up the injector line and get no fuel coming out during startup(not a drop). Just went to your site and bought the 2 filters that are under the hood since it seemed like the most logical place to start. I'll get the tank filter

later.

Thanks

Opps must have been a slurrrr... I meant to say " Ream out the carbon in the glow plug holes." Check out my other video on use of this special reamer.
