Car Talk / Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by mike070: 11:00pm On Jul 27, 2017
Pls I'm about to close a deal on a 2003 e class e320. Wat should I be aware of. How is the maintenance like. Are parts expensive? I have driven a Toyota Camry 2005 and it has been praises all through my year of ownership. Very very reliable car I must say. Can the same be said of the eclass? Most of the fault I saw when I visited online forum were all brake related. Engine n gearbox were pretty free from trouble. Thanks guys as I await your input.

Car Talk / Re: Cylinder 4 Misfire After Battery Change. by mike070: 7:59am On Apr 22, 2017
Sorry for the late reply guys. Glad to inform the house that the problem is solved. The issue was d nozzle. The cylinder four nozzle was blocked n hence free flow of gas obstructed. My 'kazeem' ckezned the injector nozzles n reinstalled it back. Viola I cranhed engine n it sounded like a baby given sma gold . car runs fine now n idles perfectly at 700_800 RPM .

Use an ultrasonic cleaning process to clean up your injectors. Not the kazeem style



Where can I do that in Benin or asaba. Pls revert it u have any if not what r d cons doing it the 'KAZEEM STYLE'. thanks.

Denn:


Do a freeze from data screen grab of the moment you swap batteries and the moment the car starts driving without a misfire.

Compare the fuel trims and revert.

You have done coil and plug swap and the issue still remains on cylinder 4. This implies that the misfire is being caused from the fuel line and not the ignition line.

Remove injector 4, inspect and give it a good clean. Ensure the o rings are not damaged. Best to clean all injectors while at it.

Revert with good news.

Cheers






Thanks. Will do that. I'm really grateful.

GAZZUZZ:
The relearn process will only drop the idle speed to about 0.4-05 rpm at battery replacement. After driving around for 15-30mins idle would be set back to normal.

What your vehicle is going thru is not normal But if a long drive will fix it, by all means drive...

Ok. Will revert to the house if any improvent. Thanks. Gazzuzz

Don't let any kazeem add any further salt to your injury, it not a issue ,it just a relearning process taking place ,every car does it but their recovery time differs.

Ok sir. Thanks boss. Really appreciate.

mayor2013:
To the best of my knowledge. If your ride is a drive by wire you car is undergoing a relearn process since you pulled out the battery in order to help someone.

Another problem we can look at there is your charging system. I hope your car battery is ok and your alternator is charging your car optimally. Have seen cases like this were a failing charging system triggers a misfire


This relearn process is killing joor. Lol. I fink the charging system is ok cos the battery in dere is almost 2 years old. Will ask an auto elect to check it. Thanks boss.

Ps read somewhere that a dirty throttle can cause same and when I opened mine it was as clean as .........
Car Talk / Re: Cylinder 4 Misfire After Battery Change. by mike070: 7:04am On Apr 12, 2017
GAZZUZZ:


do a cylinder drop test, find out if there is a spark on cylinder 4. Or with engine off, remove coil 4 attach a spark plug to it, and ground it, then start engine, you should see a consistent spark on spark plug.
If you don't find a spark, swap coil 4 with a different coil and try again.

What I think you have is a faulty coil pack.

OK sir. Will try and do it and revert. I swapped the coil packs before. From cylinder four to three and for the same misfire code for cylinder four. Will do the spark plug stuff and check if there is spark. Thanks and I will revert soon.


PS. Even used my neighbour coil pack. The same thing. Notice that when I disconnected the coil park when engine wqa running initially cylinder four did not make the car shudder. But later one it did while others made the car shudder until i connected them backbbthaks gazzuzz
