Mercedes: 1994 190D starter, vacuum leak, dangerous safety
QuestionMy starter went out on my Merz 190D. I replaced it but after the car starts and I turn it off. It will not stop running. I have to unhock the battery and plug a vacume line to stop it. It did not do it till I put the starter in. Any ideas what i did wrong. I really don't want to take it out. It was a pain to put in.
AnswerAnswer:
Why do you not use the STOP lever?
190D Won't turn off and no Stop Lever!

You have a vacuum leak, a broken or disconnected line is most likely.
Disconnecting the battery with the engine running can wreck your voltage regulator and alternator, and be dangerous.
