Hi Kent
Suffered relay short circuit with smoke coming from under hood at left front shock pillar. Engine now turns over irregardless of key accuation requiring battery disconnect to stop starter. What should be my first step in identifying relay? Thank you.

My 1984 190D 2.2L sounds like it's missing on one cylinder, there is a chuffing sound coming from the tail pipe. There is also a knocking sound that is most easily heard when letting off the throttle.
I did a compression test and all four cylinders were between 420-440 psi which was encouraging. Then I ran two cans of diesel purge through but there was no change, even while the car was running on the diesel purge.
Does anybody know the difference between the 82 - 85 injection pump? I'm need to know what the extra module on the 85 is versus the 82 it has a 3 wire electrical connection to it as opposed to the 82 which does not have the module
symptoms include.... door locks dont work.... well sometimes i come out and some doors are locked and battery is dead.. (vacuum pump running?), air dont blow out rite vents, takes a long time for heat to blow hot even if engine is at oper temp.... minor delay in shutdown of engine.... i hooked up mityvac to ignition vacuum line and it slowly leakes down.... normal?
My battery keeps going dead and I keep finding the auxillary fan fuse burned out. The red on on the C position. Metal bar on the fuse is broken and pealed back. what's the deal with that
The 78 300 D that i rescued from the crusher about 30 thousand miles ago ran hot recently. The driver told me it just steamed up...started knocking and died. (she was not paying attention to gauges).
the water pump had gone south...no water left in system.
installed a new pump. it fires up easily. runs..no bad noises. bo big smoke. no water in oil...But it starts to miss when it heats up and the radiator cap is on. pop the cap and relieve the pressure it smoothes out.
Im thinking it has a cracked head or block and the pressure is forcing steam into a cylinder(s). anyone have any ideas on that. makes sense to me...
but i have never dealt with this type problem before.
anyone ever have any luck with block sealers they sell over the counter.
I bent the forked portion of the atlernator brakcet that the adjustment bolt passes through and was wondering if bending it back into place is an option or if I should just buy another. I don't relish the idea of dropping a hundred plus dollars on a new/used one of these; would like to salvage what I have if it can be done.
Thanks for the help!
