I need to get to where the vacuum advance (distributor) line plugs into the throttle valve housing as it has been disconnected at the housing. Does everything in your video need to be removed to gain access? Any alternatives? Thanks
It is very difficult to get to the vacuum lines on the throttle housing without removing the air mixer, but this thread here might give you an alternative. Success: www.benzworld.org/threads/1982-380sl-vacuum-advance.3128484/post-18660968
Is there like any manuals or in depth instructions and tools needed to remove the air flow sensor I've been looking like crazy and i cant seem to find nothing anything helps i got a 500 sel
I don't know the 500sel, but these instructions for the 560sl might put you on the right path: www.tonk.ca/Index/117.5/07MechElec.htm. I did not need special tools for my 380SL
Can you please briefly describe the problem or issues you are having with your 126, and is your car equipped with K-Jetronic or KE-Jetronic fuel injection system?
@@tonyreyes9969 hello Tony, I was wondering if you could help me out as well. I recently swapped my U.S. spec 380sec engine with a euro spec 380sec engine. The engine turns over, has fuel pressure and has spark. It can run on starting fluid but that’s about it... I believe there is something going on with the k-jet, I’m 18 years old and this is my first ever k-jet car so I’m very new to these systems. I am not sure on the model of jetronic but The only difference I saw is the jetronic on my old engine had a frequency valve while the euro engine does not. I also noticed that the fuel pump only kicks on when I turn the engine and not when it is in run (I am not sure if it supposed to do that) now this engine had been sitting for 3 years prior to me installing it, so my thought process is that maybe the injectors are stuck + low fuel pressure. The fuel pump is brand new and has pressure (I have not tested the fuel pressure yet as I don’t have the Bosch measurement pump) any help would be greatly appreciated!
@@diarfejzullahu9623 I'm a little bit confused with your fault description regarding your 380 SEC starting problem, anyway during starting, the fuel pump runs as long as the ignition key is operated. A safety circuit is incorporated to stop the pump running and fuel being delivered if the ignition is switched on but the engine has stopped turning ( for instance in the case of an accident). For testing purposes ONLY, you can try to by-pass the safety circuit and the electronic function of the fuel pump relay. To perform the test you have to pull off the fuel pump relay and bridge the two pin sockets 7 and 8. I suggest use a guage 10 bridge wire protected by an in-line fuse of at least 25 to 30 amperes. You should be able to hear the electric fuel pump running when pin 7 and 8 is bridged, then try to start your engine and if the test is successful then you need a new fuel pump relay. Turn off the engine and don't forget to disconnect the bridge wire. By the way, is your 380 SEC European version engine equipped with a warm-up regulator or Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA)?
