Hello everyone, Had some trouble today my faithful 240 left me sit 5 miles from home. Beautiful 65 degree day so not so bad anyway engine did some sputtering for a short while and then cut out altogether. checked AMM unplugged no go checked 25 A fuse by coil looked ok wire connections to coil and dis. looked good too had some spare fuses on board so I tried turning then replacing fuse 4 and 6. also could not hear fuel pumps run when I was tinkering with the fuses. plenty of cranking power and it did start but cut out almost instantly. I suspect fuel pump relay if that is the case where is it located on an 88 240 sedan and is it a tough job to do I may be able to get one if my junkyard guy is home. Would a bad FPR prevent the pumps from running? Thanks you folks have all taught me a lot DK

    When you say FPR, I think that you mean "Fuel Pump Relay". Most of us old brick heads think "Fuel Pressure Regulator". Yes, the fuel pump relay can cause your problem. It's located on the passenger's side, under the felt panel that's above the passengers knees. It's a white cube with a electrical plug attached.

    Big White Relay that can be 'Fosterized'. (Separate the housing and re-solder all the terminals. Then the thing is like new again - no wait - better than new)!

    No to the FPRegulator. Re-check the 25 amp for contact and clean holder. Relay is a prime suspect, under the felt top liner to the front seat passengers side. Big white relay.
