There is a possibility this was caused by O2 sensor wire, short to ground.( Drive shaft area)
Will kill the fuel pump relay on most MB models.


.BTW.........Is the car running now ?

"A liberal is someone who feels they owe a great debt to their fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money."

Car is not running at all. It turns over fine, but no start.

This is a good time to have a fire extinquisher handy.

Make sure ignition key(s) is/are removed from ignition lock and place it on roof.

Pour about 1/4 cup of fuel down intake.
Replace the air filter ! This is most important.

Retrieve key(s).

Crank engine....engine must start briefly if ignition and cam timing correct.

If yes, fuel system problem.

Most like OVPR.
