86 560SEL starts then stalls
The car will start very quickly you barely have to let it turn it fires right up. Idle will go to ~1200rpms for 3-4 seconds and it stalls. Giving it gas will not keep it going. The pumps seem to be getting gas to the distributor i opened up the main intake line and it pours out. So i am losing either spark or fuel in those few seconds. Where would i start to figure out the problem?
The car has been sitting for close to 4-5 years. I was fixing a separate problem and had to put it away getting back to it now. Before putting it away i had changed fuel pumps fuel pump relay fuel filter fuel accumulator distributor cap/wires plugs coil among a few other things but its been so long i just assume its all broke again for testing purposed. Before i put it up it did run i just had problems with acceleration. |

Test the functioning of the fuel pump relay by removing the relay and bridging sockets 7&8 in the relay base. The pumps will run continuously. Start engine. Does it stay running?
