1986 190e Fuel Pump? Problem

[brewrboy723]

Help
My 190e has been parked for several months. It will not start/run. It will fire and run with starting fluid (ether).

I have run direct power from the battery to fuel pump, it will spin. Looked like the relay. Replaced, nothing.
I jumped the relay's pins (30 and 87) still nothing.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Rick

I'Ve been having similar problems myself, my 190E won't start although I have plenty of spark.

I was told by numerous people that its time for an ignition wires change, same for the cap distributor and/or rotor.

Maybe one of those could solve your problem...

By the way, how did you run direct power from the battery to fuel pump?
I would be very interested to do that same test!

I found my problem, The plug the Fuel Pump Relay plugs into had a wire that rotted off. For once, an inexpensive ($.10) fix. :lol:

Att. Fever: when the poster says that he ran a direct feed from the battery, he means just that - he took a wire from batt + and fed it to the fuel pump power in contact (+).

since this relates to components in the fuel system, be careful. one spark and you may have to explain a conflagration :twisted:
