It's alive! Not quite healty yet, but she has a pulse. I got the
check engine light working, did an output test, tried to start the
car, then checked for fault codes. I got one. 2312, coolant sensor.
On a whim, I called the local dealer. They were as shocked as I was
to find that they actually had one in stock. They don't now, it's in
my 200. It was still quite hard to start, and simply refused to idle
for the first couple of minutes, but after that, ran just fine. On
the test drive I even discovered for the first time that the fuel
cutoff at 1.6 bar works. When I got home, I checked the codes again,
and got a 2221. I should have checked for multiple codes, but my
fries were getting cold and I was quite hungry. As long as she
starts in the morning, finding the problem with the manifold pressure
and checking for other fault codes can wait until after work
tomorrow. Wish me luck!
