88 300E M-103 auto. turns over, won't start...
Won't even fire intermittently, just turns over. Car ran great when parked a little less than 2 years ago. In the past, sometimes when it dropped below about 55 degrees, there would be a funny noise coming from below the pass side front floorboard but the car still ran fine. That noise is there now. Sounds like a noisy fuel pump but there isn't one there. Never have heard that noise in my 89 M-103 300E. Dropped 4 fresh gallons into it. The number "4" LED is lit up on the self diagnostic panel (this is a California car) but I didn't activate that (I don't know how to do that yet on these cars). I have the Stu Ritter Bible for the W-124 but I can't find it. I think I loaned it to someone. Given enough time (a month), I could troubleshoot this on my own using the info on GSXR's (Dave's) site but I'm under considerable pressure to move this car before Monday mourning (24 hours). This is the car we brought our first child home from the hospital in (not pertinent I know). Thanks to all who help. Regards, Eric
