1991 405 dl California US model engine rebuild

Aug 25, 2003 1 Replies

Rebuilt the motor. Stabbed it back into the car. the car will not start.checked fuel pressure. Checked timing (too many times). and checked for spark. All are normal. Pulled codes out of ECU came back #14 NTC sensor, replaced the sensor and checked the wiring. Basically I have checked every possible thing I can think of. Does anyone have any ideas?


Hello Dough,

Should be about 2.5 to 3 bars (36.25 to 45 PSI).

Assuming there's an injection system (I don't know that much about US specs

405s), is this a Motronic or a Jetronic ? Does the injectors open & close correctly ? The pressure could be correct, but if they never open... If so, also check the TDC sensor, which should be on the gearbox, a little at back, above the flywheel - you may replace it too, or check the waveform using an oscilloscope. Anyway, I don't know that the #14NTC sensor you mention is (I'm not a machanic).
