replace many parts 88 300CE still won't start.
Hi, this 300CE has been with me since 88. 2 months ago it started to run kind of rough. When I accelerated it wouldn't pull right away. It hesitated then started to move. Seemed like there was a clot in the fuel line preventing smooth acceleration. Then 1 month ago it refused to start all of sudden. I changed the fuel filter and the distributer cap and rotor. It started smoothly. But rough acceleration still persisted. So I replaced the spark plugs and wires. Then the car ran smoothly. But two days ago when I pulled it out of garage and switched to Drive gear and gave it a gas. It stalled. Then I tried to restart about 7 times before it would restart. I proceed to drive down the street. At the stop light, it stalled again as I tried to gas the car when the light turned green. I pulled the car to the side. I turned the key at least 25 times before it would restart again. Since then it has been in the garage. When I turned the key, the engine turned but just wouldn't start then I heard "plub plub" at the tail pipe. When I turned the key I was able to roll down windows, turn on radio and lights indicating the key fob was functioning. I suspect the fuel pump is at faul becuase I have changed pretty much all the ignition system and fuel filter. Any expert in forum please advice what could be the cause and what I should do next.
Thank you very much.
