Hello, as my merc 190e 2.0 auto was ticking over it suddenly cut out
without warning, not even a splutter. Could not start it at all after
that. 24 hours later i tried it and it fired up and cut out a couple of
times before it ran fine again. Had it ticking over today again and
when i slammed the bonnet shut it cut out again and wont start !! Any
ideas folks ??

When you try to start engine, is the engine turning over?

The engine turns over but it never sounds like it is going to 'catch'

Have listened for the fuel pump but it makes no noise when i turn on
the ignition. Is the fuel pump relay located behind the battery?

"overvoltage protection relay"." It has a fuse on its top". - where
abouts is this relay please ?

Fuel pump relay and the overload relay are both located behind your battery
behind the cover.

The electric fuel pump is powered by a "fuel pump relay" (like a
switch); these get "tired" after some years. The result is that the fuel
flow (and engine) stops intermittently. Suggest you replace the fuel
pump relay, especially if it's old.

Other, secondary possibility is another relay called the "overvoltage
protection relay". It has a fuse on its top.
