1989 Model 240GL - Runs for period of time, then stops. Won't start! 200 1989

Welcome to the Website.


#1 There is a Fuse on the Drivers side fender. It's in a white fuseholder.
Follow the smaller red wire from the battery

See if that fuse holder is burnt or really crappy. That is the main fuse to the Fuel Pump relay. If it has a bad connection to the fuse, it may heat up and cause too much resistance.

#2 When the engine is cold and running well, grab the wire going down to the Crank positioning sensor (Located pretty much on top of the Trani Bellhousing). and give it a wiggle; see if the car stalls. These wire insulation on these sensors have a habit of tearing. Over time water gets in there and makes them fincky. A warm engine might just be enough to lose the electrical connection.

Give that a shot and post back under this post.
