Unhappy

Thanks, ejsharp, I spent last weekend finding the OVP relay and found it to be fine. Great conections and the fuse tested out okay. I believe that if it was an OVP relay problem then I would not have got the voltage at the plug which connects on to the throttle switch. Yes ?
When I switch the ignition on, the fuel pump runs for a couple of seconds and then stops. I believe that this is the correct behaviour and is known as 'priming'. WHen the engine actually starts (very rare) then the fuel pump kicks in again. My guess is that this show the fuel pump relay to be doing its job - yes ?
So, still no closer to having the 190E running properly again. It should be my 'daily driver' but is currently my 'daily drive ornament' !
