My 2003 Sprinter passenger version is experiencing Hard Start, Stall and No Start. First mechs changed fuel filter and sent me on my way. 2wks later stalled on the wifey on the way home. Had it towed to Dodge City of McKinney (just north of Dallas) insisted I ran it out of gas, that's why it had air in the lines. They bled the system and sent me on my way. Three days later it dies again. They towed it in. First they told me "our tech doesn't like the look of the fuel in the tank" so we need to pull the tank and check it out. Days later the answer is well that didn't turn up and they asked me if and when I had the PCM changed? I told them "oh a few months ago and they changed it!" Took them a few minutes of "reviewing" my work history and they found it. Said well it must be something electrical they'd get back to me. Then they came up with a bad fuel injector connector, which they say is obsolete and they can't get it unless I want to pay $3K for a complete engine wiring harness. Their answer is they want to cut off the connector and have me to go to a junk yard and get the part and bring it to them. Anyone ever heard of injector connector going bad and the dealership computer NOT being able to diagnose it, and the tech troubleshooting by hand with a multimeter? I'm doubt they really have a true MB Sprinter computer. I called the local MB house and they won't touch pre-2007.
I've been looking for the connector online. I've come up with 05103931AA at factorychryslerparts.com. My old mech lost access the factory sprinter computer and I cant find a DAD available for purchase anywhere. From the forums I've hit the "water in fuel sensor" or possibly the "preheater valve" on the back of the fuel filter. HELP???
