im writing this due to my 1989 mercedes 260e wont start. it all started wendsday afternoon. i had parked my car in the parking lot of my local Vons groccery store to run in for something really quick, not even 5 min later i come back and my car wouldnt start. i had a 1/4 of gas in the tank at the time and i fugured that maybe i was out of gas. so i walked to the nearest gas station and got about $5 worth in my gas can and i put it in. next i tried to start the car and all it did was turn over just fine but no start! so i let it sit for a good 30 min and tried again. this time it started. a day or two went by and everthing was fine. saturday came around and i went back to that same store and not even 5 minutes later i come back to the same problem! this time though i had more than 1/2 of a tank full of gas. i attempted to start it but it just turned over and did not start at all. this time i was stranded for at least an hour till it finally started up. after this i decided to go home becuase i was afraid of gettin stranded. i stopped at a stop sign near my house and it just died on me. just cut right off and it took another 5 min to start this time. i finnaly got home and put it in the driveway with intition to take it to the shop this monday to see whas going on.this mornig i went to start it again and i wouldnt star at all. to me this is strange because i never really had a problem starting it before. i have been told that this could be a bad fuel pump relay or even a bad accumulator. maybe a bad fuel pump. i woul just like to get some advise on this before i take it to a mechanic and have them want to telling me a b.s story
