Hi guys,

Hoping this is the right subforum for this.
Hoping to get a bit of advice to steer me in the right direction.

Have a W124 300E currently shored up, Can't get it to start.
It produces a spark, fuels correctly, plugs get wet, compression good, replaced fuses as well, when we tried cranking it with EZ start it still wouldn't fire.
Before I laid it up it would run maybe 1/10 times and when it runs it won't stop or cut out on a journey.

Cannot for the life of me work out what it is, any suggestions? frown

OVP relay? On the 190e and W202 it's located near the main fuses in the engine bay.

If your plugs are wet then no spark.

Working on an M103 engine recently, with a no start situation. We had sparks but must have been intermittent. Dizzy cap and rotor arm saw it right.
