hard/no start when hot 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Oakes on  Fri Aug 30 05:06 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a coworker whose 88 240 simply won't start when hot. Once it cools down for half an hour it starts right up with a roar. Makes buying gas difficult. Any guesses?

Check that miserable 25-amp blade-style fuse under the hood - clipped to the driver's side fender, ahead of the coil. If it's anything but new-looking, replace it. If it's corroded and melted looking, replace the fuse holder as well.

Also check the fuel pump relay, on the inside of the firewall up under the glove box.

Thanks, Smitty. Next time I see this gal I'll check these things.
