I've got a 1985 230 CE (Euro coupe) with the hard starting / no starting problem. It's got spark and I can smell gas. It just turns over and over without starting. Sometimes it wants to sputter and run, but immediately dies.

I've looked for the OVP fuse, but can't seem to find it. The battery is against the firewall on the passenger side, but there is nothing behind the battery. No box, no cover of any kind. There is a wiring harness that enters the firewall here, but no access to anything.

Any ideas out there? The 230 CE supposedly has the same engine as a 190E 2.3, but apparently the location of stuff like this is different.
