About 2 weeks ago the car started to run rough once it had warmed up. At first I thought it was a clogged fuel filter, so I replaced it. Then I thought that the #1 injector was clogged so I got a new one. Then things got worse now it's to the point that It will not start.

I was thinking it was the injector pump but I'm not sure how to test it. I have read some threads on this site but I am still not totally clear. Maybe someone could explain it in an easy to follow manner.

This is what I have done so far.

1) I changed the number one injector -- no effect
2) I changed the fuel filter --- no effect
3) I took off the little fuel pump next to the injector, seemed to work but not sure how to test it.

Also a bit of funny info, I took it to a shop "EDDIES MBZ" in Lawndale CA, and he said that it needed a pump but he did not say which one, but was still ordering a pump for me. After a week I went back and asked him to show me what pump he was talking about and he pointed the the cruise control unit. That's when I towed it home in a hurry.

Please help Thanks.
Check the "Good shops" section for California. Read the MR. MB thread, and decide if you might want to go there. Sounds like the best bet around, and it is not far from the Lawndale shop. It is in Tarzana.
