Died While Driving
Hey everyone,
My 1982 245 D24 recently cut power to the engine while driving (shifting into 3rd gear around 15/20mph) and now it won't start. No leaking fluids and battery is good. Earlier in the day, a radiator coolant hose burst on the highway. I replaced the hose and refilled the coolant; seemed to be fine. Any thoughts as to what may have happened? Thanks, -Alex |

Can you verify 12v to the fuel solenoid on the injection pump while cranking? It is possible that a burst radiator hose could cause a severe loss of compression due to overheating. Hopefully its something simple.

Yes, the fuel solenoid is receiving 12 with the key turned and while cranking.

Timing belt history?
Can you loosen an injector line union and verify fuel pressure getting to the injector while cranking?

I had the timing belt done by my mechanic around 1-2 years ago. (He's done them in the past)
How would I verify the fuel pressure? Wouldn't loosening the injector line while cranking spew diesel everywhere? |

Yes it would.
But in case the pressure is on one injector not high enough it would run at all, not smooth but it would work. Have you checked if there are air bulbs in the transparent diesel fuel line going to the fuel injection pump? It also could be possible that the pump is "jammed", but in this case the car wouldn't die from one day to the other. Best regards, Bernd EDITH: The fuel pump belt is tighten? If not it maybe skipped and now the pump setting is all gone...could be a reason why it's not starting anymore...
