Long story short. Four hours later, it started right up. The fuel relay was then replaced and (knock wood) it never happened again.
81 380sl. I have removed the right kick panel and have exposed several relays and to my suprise a glass fuse. Can anyone list what relays are to what especially the fuel pump relay.
Once someone has pointed it out to me can anyone tell me how to test it? origionally I posted that the car ran then ran poorly like it was out of gas and then finally died. I had it towed home and the next day it started back up but still runs poor(no power, bogs). Any suggestions?
ps what is there a glass fuse doing hidden behind the kick panel? I will be glad to post a pic if it is not standard
