Question Wont Start

I want to thank everyone for all the help in the past just in case I missed someone have a 1993 190e with the six.I have changed the MAS control unit,OVP overload relay,fuel pump & starter (burnt that up trying to get it running & I wish that job on no one)Ok the car will not start wont even try to.When I had someone to turn on the key I felt the fuel pump it is working & I have tried to flood the car by pumping on the gas peddle & even tried starter fluid it wont hit a lick & you would think that you could smell gas by pumping on it but no.What else can I do?$500.00 so far & no luck.The only thing that I have not tried is checking the distributor & rotor it's in the front & a lot of stuff will have to come off just to check it ( will i be wasting my time on that) all the parts that I have replaced are used & the person I deal with on them is a straight shooter it just takes sometime to get them.Three weeks ago it would start & shut off when you tried to reeve it up & now it wont start at all old or used parts.Could it be the coil if so how do I check it? I need help guys.Next is a dealer 100 miles away & will have to carry it over to them. Going broke slow PLEASE HELP SCOTT

wont start

Do you think it may be the coil? I check it by pulling off a plug wire.not much spark & what spark there was it was yellow or close to it.should a coil put off a blue or white spark?

Pumping the gaspedal on a fuel injected car does NOTHING.
Not like the " good old " carbureted days.
I would start by checking spark first ( which you have done now ) & persue the weak spark you're getting.
A good quality spark is normally blue in color.
You may want to get somebody to investigate the spark scenario with an ignition scope.

I've seen 103's act like this when the rotor bracket breaks, inside the ign distributor. Especially the dying when revving scenario, and then later (and previously) wouldn't start at all because the ignition was out of time.

spark scenario

Spark scenario if something is wrong with it what would be the problrm,how would you go about fixing it & most important how much would it caust to fix the problem.I can get a coil only pay for shipping do you think I would wasting my time?When it was running & it got to normal temp & turn the air on it would start acting up after that it would do it with out the air on.Scott
