Re: merc 190E non starter

This problem began about a less than a week ago, after I purchased the car
from a guy that said it probably needed a new timing chain in order to
start and run the engine. My mechanic did some work on it to check the
electrical, however, when I turn the key to the on position the lights and
the fan and everything turns on, then when I turn the key all the way on,
the motor does not make a rummhhhrummmhh noise at all and the engine fan
turns a little but then stops.
