Hello,


I have a 1990 200TE which won't petrol pump for the 5? seconds before starting when it is warm, maybe every one in ten starts. I don't get that whirring noise. I leave it a minute or two and it pumps and starts. I lived with it. Now the engine has started to die when going along (strangely round left hand corners but this may be coincidence?). Again leave it and it starts fine? I thought the faults may be connected and it might be a bad connection on my pump relay board but don't know where it is. Also my petrol pump makes quite a noise under normal running conditions. Should I replace it?

Thanks

jon

The fuel pump relay should be behind the battery. There is a little section against the wall back there covered with a plastic shield. Its behind it.

Sounds like your pump is failing.

I've found the ABS ECU and the fuel injection ECU, rectanglar boxes from the part numbers, a bit like the size of a car radio. There is also the kickdown black box, and another square section, rectangular box sitting upright that I can't seem to remove?

Thanks if you can help. Jon
