engine starts and runs for 2 seconds then stops.But if wait 5 seconds in acc position then starter dont run.But if immediately turn key then engine runs for 2 seconds then stops.Please help.And please effort do understand what i wrote.because my english is bad.
Hello, it sounds like your fuel pump is going bad. But I think at acc position, your car is a state where the electrical comp. assume the car is running or about to run so the fuel pump kicks in and pumps gas. But if fuel pump is out, then no gas is pumped. But once you turn it on, it forces to suck gas slightly then stops which obviously stalls the engine. Good luck.
I understand its a W163. WHAT YEAR AND MODEL (ML 320, 430, 55, 500..)???
An let me make sure i understand correctly. If you try to start by just normally turning the key to start for about a second, it runs for 2 seconds and dies. If you hold the key down for 5 seconds trying to start, it does nothing?
Once the key engages the starter it will only do it once before you have to turn it back to position 0 and then restart. If you are not returning it to position 0 it will not crank the starter.
At first thank you for attention and kindness.Model ML 320 1998.Engine pretends to run for one second if you start directly(instantly).But after waiting in acc position starter does't sound naught.
