Long time lurker here. On mobile. I've had my sprinter for 6 yrs and put on 150k miles myself. One issue I've had in past on occasion, and is big problem now, is it suddenly dies at road speed. But it just starts up again after a quick prayer so not a big deal in the past
But the last time it ran for 3 seconds and died. Had to toe it home and I'm now working on it.
I've changed the fuel filter but could not vacuum prime it successfully until I blew low air pressure back towards the fuel tank through the rubber fuel line at the filter.
When I stopped blowing fuel surged towards the filter and I quickly got it placed in the filter and tightened up the clamp. I was able to prime and no bubbles!
It started and idled for 2 minutes then died. It acts as if fuel starved. It won't keep running. I started to drop fuel tank and when opened the fuel cap air rushed in. So I thought it might now run with cap off. Nope.
Is there something easily plugging the line in the fuel tank? Ideas before I pull the fuel tank and look?
Any warnings for me?
