Hi,
Just got this car 1997 clk 320 recently and have noticed occasionally it does not start properly. It turns over and seems to fire for an instant and then just dies... its kind of like an immobilizer is cutting it out. This morning i had to start it about 4 times before it would run. When running it is great and no issues/warning lights. It seems to be intermittent.. i charged the battery incase it was that. Once it stalled when running (in maybe 60 miles since having) coming up to set of lights.. i noticed the bas/asr light come on just before it stalled... when i went to start it that time the dials went crazy and wouldnt turn over at all (might of been low battery - this was before i charged it) Anybody any ideas what is causing it to cut out like that on start up ? as i say its like its started for an instant and then cut out.. maybe bad fuel pump or something ? I was reading some guy saying about a relay but no idea what one they were talking about ?
Thanks.
