My 1990 240 just died in traffic. This car had been off the road for about 3 years with occassional runs up and down the driveway to keep it limber.

Fine crank, etc. but no typical fuel pump pressuring sound when the key is on.

I've checked the fuses inside and under the hood, and the main relay behind the glove box is replaced with a new spare. The voltage and continuity checks at the relay terminals 30, 87 and 86 are as indicated in the Bentley manual.

Is the ECU the only thing left to check? Bentley is sending me that direction, but I am not completely comfortable with testing it without ruining the thing.

Thanks,

Paul
