Hello everybody !
my name is Max , please to meet you all
I found the forum very interesting , with a lot of people with great knowledge and experience !
I was trying to do some research , but I couldn't find the answers that I need to understand the problem with my car
I hope maybe some of you can help me .. and I apologize in advance if some topics has been discussed previously
I have a W124 TE200 1992 .. and I have problems starting the car , actually it doesn't start anymore .. and last time I've used after it took me 5 minutes to start , eventually was stalling/cutting off badly … at the beginning only at low revs .. and after that the cutting increased .. so I just parked the car somewhere safe and that's it
after my research on here I have found some possible issue with that ..
wiring loom ?
OVP relay ?
Distributor cap ?
the wiring loom looks quite good to me .. but obviously this things need a bit of time involved and a proper check .. I only looked superficially ..
also .. I found always here , that the problem with the wiring loom affected mainly the models with the multi-coil set up on later M104 engines
" apparently " earlier models with M102 , M103 shouldn't have this problem
(my one is a M102)
is it that possible ?
OVP relay then seem to me a good explanation .. if only could I find it ! .. where is it on my model ? definitely not near the battery ..
or at least it doesn't looks similar to this … which is the one found it on google image
I've checked, just behind the fuse box , there is another compartment with something that looks like it .. but I'm not sure which is which ..
I found this one .. which it may be a multi-relay ? .. perhaps something to do with this ?
Distributor cap has been replaced 3 years ago , but a friend of mine said to check that out as well .. you never know ..
any suggestions ?
thanks in advance
Max
