"Tiny... where did you buy a new OVP and how much was it? I dont see them listed here on the site. I hope thats my issue with my car and not that hose you mentioned in the other threads."

I got mine from Phil here on Fastlane. Search under "Overload Relay"

The hose is a much cheaper part than that relay! It's just much harder to install. Really, it's not so bad - just annoying that you have to pull the fuel distributor.

I hate to say it, but with a 19 year old MB, you either need to get familiar with some basic repairs or find a cheap indie mechanic who you trust. These are great cars, and quite reliable, but fixing the age related issues that the previous owner neglected can be time consuming and costly if you have to farm out the repairs........

Good luck!!
