Q: After new distributor and testing, car won't start
I am having a Very Frustrating time finding a solution for my car; it just won’t start! I have been to several dealerships. One of them installed a new fuel distributor that they ordered from Germany. No help - still would not start. Then it was sent to a Benz specialist in a different town (in USA) who did a lot of research on it - still will not start! Do you have any suggestions that might help me in finding my car’s problem?
