Let’s Try to Figure out why is This T1N Mercedes Sprinter Shut Off While Driving and won’t start

I'm looking forward to part 3 Zimaleta. I know you'll get to the bottom of it. I have learned a lot of trouble shooting tips from watching your videos. Great job, sorry the Sprinter isn't working yet, but I know you will keep at it.

It will not start without a proper crank signal. Replace crank sensor with OEM part only. Follow wires all the way to the ECM and inspect for damage. It isn't getting fuel because the ECM won't let it have fuel without a proper crank signal. You can even use jumper wires to provide an alternate path from one end to the other of the crank sensor to rule out the wires themselves. I would not worry about the "Uneven sound of compression". If you spin an engine by hand, you will notice the force required is not linear, it gets easier and then harder as the piston compresses air.

you can tell if a crank position sensor if the tack moves

Hey Serg,
Thanks for another video. I know you said the TCM is missing .This also sounds like when someone tried to steal a radio out of one of my co-workers van. They got some code from dealer and reset it with a new radio, then it started fine. Good luck, keep us informed.

Hello,
Did you ever get your Autel ML629 OBD scanner to work with the Sprinter T1N.

What 16 pin to 14 pin sprinter adapter did you use.

[time.]

I replaced my sensor on top of the motor. I did not use an OEM part as I could not see how that I could spend 179.00 for an aftermarket part for 19.95. It runs great.

I just changed the egr, it solved the problem, but now I have to start the van twice before hitting the road, I don't shut the van when I do deliveries just to avoid the problem. So I'm just gone keep doing that, because here in buffalo ny, no one knows a lot about sprinters but the dealer, I don't want to retake it the Mercedes dealer, their prices is ridiculous.

I know this was over a year ago, but I know you, and others read the comments. U0423, for me, was the temperature sensor under the front bumper. If you are not getting an outside temperature in the gauge cluster, you are getting two dashed lines, then the sensor is not working. Or, in my case, it was completely missing. Mercedes uses the exterior temperature to factor into it’s programming. Replacing it will make that code go away. $23 part and 5 minutes.

Drain a liter of diesel to inspect the condition of the fuel they are prone to get dirt in the system, also check the fuel filter

[gochawysokie]

sounds like no fuel getting to the engine ?
did you check the injectors if they spit the fuel ?

I have a 2003 sprinter van. I have had the fuel pump injectors fuel filter replaced within the past 10, 000 miles. I was trying to find why it wouldn’t start At times. It turned out to be the Crank sensor. That was a very expensive crank sensor. Recently when I’m driving the engine will just stop performing just stops like I’ve taken my foot off the throttle. If I don’t move my foot at all it will just continue to slow down as if I’ve taken my foot off the throttle. The slightest movement of my foot power resumes. It doesn’t go into limp mode. This happens just randomly. It does happen each time I drive it. I don’t know what it could be.The cruise control won’t work again until I stop and turn the engine off and started back up. It always has full power when it resumes. It just takes a slight movement of my foot on the throttle to make it resume either accel or decel. This has been going on for about a month. I’ve changed the fuel filter and cleaned the EGR. It doesn’t happen when I accelerate hard. It’s when I maintain speed with light pressure on the throttle but it will continue to decelerate until I move the throttle slightly. It doesn’t happen when I accelerate hard. It’s when I maintain a speed with light pressure on the throttle. When it cuts out it will decelerate until I move the throttle a little bit. Sometimes it will do this several times in a row until I start driving harder. When I cruise that light throttle is there happens. Home out of ideas. Do you have any? I’m not sure what will happen if I allow it to slow down to a stop without moving my foot. I wanted to try that but I haven’t been in a traffic situation to allow for it. That’s gonna be my next thing to do to see if the engine actually stays running at an idle when I stop or of the engine actually dies. .

So now what I do, i start up the engin twice and the van doesn't choke anymore it runs fine. But if i start it up once and drive it, it gets clogged and then smoke comes once I hit the accelerator, and then it goes way.
I know its weird, but I love my sprinter I want to keep it.

Hi mate!! Earth strap locations mate, I have my sprinter back together again but have bad crank
I think I’ve left a strap off but can’t remember where
I remember one looking like a braided tinsel lead
Where are they located/ bolted to ?

[MasonNesson]

Like you also said " it might be the crank position sensor wire or plug too "

[colinbrown]

Hey there brilliant videos. I had fuel leak reported at MOT (i am uk) on inspection under top engine cover i find BLACK DEATH! Cleaned all that replaced copper washers hooray fixed leak. Started fine went drive look again fuel Everywhere! Plastic connector on top of injectors all snapped in half, replaced with metal ones van starts everything good go drive 6-7 miles engine dies, starts 2-3 times enough to get to safe stop. EDC light came on like fuel empty (i done once before) filled filter no start, im thinking fuel pump? Any advice greatly appreciated. Also what is small electric motor on bulkhead (uk) righthand side has rubber hose in and out. Makes noise when ignition on and continues after shut off?

[freetobemeknocknock]

My sprinter in the morning starts straight away, but once engine warms up the and you want to restart it, it won’t start it’ll give you a very hard time to do so .I thought glow plug issues so I change the glow plugs but still I have the same issue any idea what could be Stopping the engine to restart when engine warms up

[abomalik]

I have a 06 frightliner 80 thousand miles, bought it from a company who only drove almost 9000 miles since 2015, its clean van but I noticed it having chocking issurme after staring it up and while im driving it driving it, I have to hit the accelerator hard for the van to be released with dark soot smoke coming from the muffler.
Please I need help

[MasonNesson]

I have my cold Beer beside me and watching this very interesting And Educational video

[Hocchobiet]

Where can buy the 2006 sprinter computer, thank you.

[MasonNesson]

To me it sounds like either SKREEM module problem or ECM or loose wire somewhere!
Keep us posted
Good luck
