Please can you solder a Mercedes ml350 Sam rear. Mine has a little rust on one of the chips that altered the rear lights.

Hello...
Please what could cause a car driven perfectly well and parked only to refuse to start (hard starting) after 2 days.
It's a new battery
The engine revolves but would not start
I had to add about 2 litres of fuel incase the fuel gauge malfunctions (gives wrong reading) yet same problem.

What could possibly be the cause? What should I check out for?
It's 2004 Honda
Thank you

Good day boss

It could be bad fuel pressure actuator or a whole lots of other reasons. But running a scan will save you cost. But from experience it might be your timing chain issue

Thanks boss for the insight
It did not actually occur to my mind to consider the timing chain embarassed (heartbeat faster)
Intend to check the fuel line... from fuel pump/filter down to nozzles as well the starter and plugs

Benz ML 350 - Error Message on the instrument cluster “Parking Brake See Operator’s Manual”. Followed by “Service Required Do Not Shift Gears Visit Dealer”

I got a Benz ML 350 with the error messages at the same time won’t crank with those error messages flashing.

Here are steps taken

First I did complete diagnostic check and it came back not communicating with the CAN BUS

Second step was to physically inspect the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) which should give a sound when the button is tapped.

Third step was to inspect the SAMs and the CAN BUS for any issue which was later discovered to be caused rust.

Fourth step was replacing the Back SAM and the middle SAM and all the 3 CAN BUS

Actually there are couple of noise from the engine it might be a pinging or tappet noise but from your code already you have knock sensor error code and valve timing code. Which I will advise to pay attention to.

Until a physical inspection is carried out I won’t be able to answer correctly. A car can knock without a single noise from the engine and a pinging noise can go on for a year and engine won’t even smoke not to talk of hooking

Still trying to figure out how best to tackle the issue even after replacing the TDC sensor and Crankshaft position sensor. The issue of going off intermittently still lingers but I will keep updating on the progress
