It also only has one fuel pump, that I can see, There is supposed to be a fuel cooler inline. I read that there was an issue with fuel vaporisation in the line near the engine, that uses the A/C line to cool, but the A/C is not working, at this time.
I also read that the that the twin pump setup was added and cured this.
Anyone have any ideas?

Merk...are you referrring to an air sensor that attaches to the plastic air intake "snorkel" that goes from the air filter houseing to the front of the car, by the left headlight assembly?

If yes, then no...

What I mean is that the air intake sensor was not used in the W124 until 1990 and on (even though there is a perfectly good "hole" to attach it).

Follow the link below...I once had the same question.

I think that your car has two fuel pumps.

Like the other writer stated, just follow the lines...

This lastlink should be particularly helpful in answering your fuel pumpquestion. Read the NOTE on page 5 of 6.

Have a good weekend. I am leaving early today to go kayaking with my son. I hope I don't drown...or become a snack for a hungry shark...from a distance, a myopic shark may confuse me with a tasty, chubby seal...
