Hi,
I would appreciate some ideas on what to look at in repairing my 1987
260E.
For a few weeks it would intermittently stall while at an idle, or while
driving it would loose power for a 5-6 seconds then stall(smooth shut
down). It always restarted and ran all day until recently. Last Sat. it
stalled and won't restart. It try?s to start but it seems like it's not
getting any gas.
Does the above symptom point to a certain part?
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it's either:
Clogged fuel filter- Where is it?
Bad Fuel pump - Where is it?
Bad fuel pump relay - Where is it?
Thank you for your assistance.
David

Most probably the fuel pump relay is broken. The get tired after many
years of service and no longer hold their ON position. Otherwise the
fuel pump becomes the suspect.

Yep, fuel pump relay... check the date stamped on the relay... it is
probably the same year as the car was built.

Did you ever solve your problem? My '89 260E cranks strong but will not
start. I replaced the distributor, the wiring, and plugs - but same
problem. Please tell me how you solved your problem.
