I WAS DRIVING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STALLED. I PULLED OVER, CHECKED THE GAS, THERE WAS PLENTY, CHECKED THE OIL, NOTHNG WRONG THERE, AND I CHECKED THE RADIATOR WATER LEVEL, THAT WAS GOOD. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, AND IT WOULDNT START. IT TURNS OVER BUT IT JUST WONT START. ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTION, ITS A 1990 300E

Try unplugging and plugging back in the fuel relay or giving ita a tap with a spanner. If it start again or starts and cuts out it sounds like the fuel relay a common problem. Sometimes they work again when the car has been stood for a while.

alright, ill try that when i get the car home, right now its sitting in a parking lot and i dont have a way to get it home.

O yea, where is the fuel relay, and if i do have to replace something like that how much would i have to look to replace it.

Can you try to start by depressing the pedal all the way down ?

Mine did the same thing, turned out to be the OVP relay. I changed the OVP & the Fuel relay. It just left me sitting at a light one day. They are both behing the battery

I HAVE A QUESTION, COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MY CAR IF IT NEEDS A VALVE JOB?

dahappybanana · 07-21-2007, 10:21 PM

Needing a valve job should not create these results. The only thing that happens from that is rough idle and fast fouling of spark plugs. Definately check your spark plugs tho, they may need replacing.

Also, please not to type in all caps, it is less fluid to read and makes it seem as though you are screaming or mad.

dope626 · 07-21-2007, 10:41 PM

Haha, sorry bad habit, and when it was running it didnt have rough idle, and i just put new spark plugs in like a month ago, and they are still good. I was just asking because a friend of mine said that could be a problem, but he is kinnda stupid.lol, thanx guys for the help.
