does the 1990 190E 2.6 have a fuel pump relay? searching on several sites, including this one and I don't see one located under any categories for my specific car.

It should be located behind the plastic cover that is behind the battery. It is the one next to the one that says klima on it. There are some actual good pictures of the layout on this forum. I was wanting to ask you the kind of paint you used on your grill? Was it flex, and did you take out the whole grill or just the insert to do it?

No, I don't think so. Beginning with MY '90, both the separate Klima relay and fuel pump relay were no longer used on the M103 motors. From that date onward, the MAS incorporated both of those relays.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world--those who understand binary and those who don't

so from what I know about the mas, it controls several other functions and those functions on my car seem to be fine. however, I am getting s constant fault code 11, air injection system, any relation to what could be going on with the shutting off?

believe it or not, I actually used self etching primer spray paint as I have painted the entire grill, even the chrome part, and I chose to go with a high temp heat resistant bbq grill spray paint which is amazing.no chipping or flaking at all. I haven't posted any recent photos, but I made a few more minor cosmetic enhancements like getting the smoke red tail lights, not the ones on my sig, I didn't like the all red look, and I also got rid of the dual exhaust and went with slightly extended exhausts with black tips. not a huge fan of rims so I kept those stock.
