What should I look for in a 300E fuel problem?

yeap im back! im the one that wanted to blow up the 300E and light a cigarette while I watched it burn, remember me?

Well I still havent blown the car up yet, and prolly dont plan on to. But, I need someone's suggestion on how I can finally get this god forbidden fuel problem resolved without having to pay so much money. I'm on a tight budget at the moment, and having a fuel problem just makes it a prettier picture, doesnt it?

I have bought a rebuilt fuel distributor, a rotor and distributor for the spark plugs, new spark plugs, new wires, and an oil change for my car. Still, the car turns on, but when accelerated the only thing heard on the engine is the air passing through the mass meter unit, and the car doesnt respond with an acceleration in the engine. It's like no gas is entering the engine, only air. Infact, just minutes ago I started the car, took about 7 tries to get it runnin (with some major vibrations in the engine area, like it wanted to jump out) then when I pressed the gas it would not respond, However, I left is running for a while and noticed that as I pressed the gas in a little more, the car would take in more gas. Finally I got to where I'd press teh pedal in almost at 5000 rpm and the car sounded perfect. Seconds later the car dies after I let go of the gas pedal. I get out of the car and check the muffler, due to some weird engine sounds I heard during the examination. I see traces of water that came from the muffler....like bits of water puddles right under the muffler. This may have occured due to the number of months (thats about 9) that my car has never seen a highway, and has been sitting on my driveway.

I just want someone with a decent amount of experience to give me an opinion on the following suggestion:

I want to buy each and every part that has to do with the fuel system on my car, brand new that is. I dont care how much it costs, but I am looking at buying "NEW" parts (unless one of you professionals suggest something else). I am pretty sure this is not anything electronic, but then again I am only a college student at the University of Texas, trying to get a degree in architecture, I have absolutely no experience in Europena Cars (Domestic cars a know a ****load of).

Any suggesitons or comments to make on whether I am making a right decision here. I really do not want to sell my poor little 300E. Infact I want to fix it up and drive the thing around.

My email is architect1803@yahoo.com if you need to email me for any reason please do so.

The Car: 1986 Mercedes 300E (W124) 6cyl. Gas Engine. 3.0

Someone please help me out....I am in serious need of help at the moment. Any comments will be greatly appreciated...

PEACE!
