1995 e280 w124 starting problems

[louisoliver]

I have a 1995 e280 one of the last of the w124's. it seems to not want to start now and then and will only do so if i slightly depress the accelerator pedal. I have replaced the fuel pump relay and the ovp relay to no effect. What else could be wrong. also does anyone know how I can rig up an led to use the diagnostic socket been told all i need is an led and some wire then count the flases. Cheers

where is the fuel pump relay on your car please

the fuel pump relay was behind the battery also the ovp relay was back there. That would be great if you could post a wiring diagram. not too bad with a soldering iron just need to know what bits to use and where to put em!
many thanks

I think im having problems with the relays back there too.I wonder if water gets in there. Is the other unit there the light control unit?
