1984 300D Turbo engine shutoff
I replaced the engine shut off vacuum actuator, the car drove for 15 minutes and stalled. I am not getting fuel to the injectors. The question is can the actuator gaskets leak air into the pump and air lock it?

n/a1991 300D.
Starts great. After 30 sec idles rough. Believe the fuel injector is being signalled that the engine is above 60 C when it is not . Where is this temp sensor located.

replaced brushes on the blower motor, bench tested worked fine. Installed in car, checked fuse ok, but no blower running. checked voltage at the connection no voltage. My question is were to go next. Also when in the air conditioning mode compressor is running. PLEASE HELP.
Hello Kent,
First,I want to say thanks to Mercedes source for the ability to learn everything about these great cars and giving me the know-how to do all my own work. Truly priceless.
hopefully this isn't a double post.
I have apparently 184k miles on a recently bought 300D. It pours out bluish smoke at start up, maybe some whithish mixed in but it's hard to tell.
It bellows out smoke on freeway at full throttle but not really any noticable smoke at constant speed. When i get off the freeway after ~30 miles and idle for a very short time (several seconds) it leaves a smoke trail as seen in rearview mirror and headlights.
I have a 1983 300d with 155k miles on the engine. I have a rough idle issue and no power on take off. slow as a old dog. I have replaced all diesel filters. in tank screen also. I replaced motor mounts and shocks. performed diesel purge, got lil better, but still same issue. Performed valve adjustment, checked cam lobes, ok. performed cold compression test, found 410 to 405 on 1,2,3,4 and 5 cylinders. replaced glow plugs and relay.checked turbo alda, correct and functioning. checked for blockage, found clean and clear. I really dont know what else can be causing this issue. HELP!
