E200 Cutting out

[Richieno9]

Hi All,I'm new to this forum and have a question about my Dad's merc.It's a 1990 E200 saloon.He's recently had an engine swop and the car has been running quite well up until now.Lately the car cuts out at random times. She starts chugging along and then dies completely. Sometimes she will start again after a few mins but mostly she takes a few hours before she will re start.
Can anyone advise where to look or what to look for :cry:

Thanks
Richie

Always start at basics and this is the first place to start. Make sure that you have 12v on the 87 pins.

Just in case you don't know, the OVP relay is behind the piece of trim at the back of the battery. There's a fuse in the top of it.
