Update...
1985 500SEL

My friend looked at my car in my garage today
we found that the fuel pump is not buzzing and there were no sparks from the wire from the distributor...

we looked at the wiring diagrams and he said it could be two things

the Ignition control unit(80%) or the distributor(20%)..

what you think

should I take a chance and buy an ignition control unit????Do these things usually go on these cars??

please shed as many comments as you can..

Thanks a lot...

Update...

I have jumpered the Relay and I got the pump to work... but the car wont start, there is no spark

so what you guys think

I am leaning towards the Ignition Control module, because when I was cranking the car with the relay on I was getting no spark and the pump was not on....

and I looked at the wiring diagram, and the Ignition control module connects to the fuel pump relay...

so in other words.. the Control module is not giving spark or fuel..

does my diagnosis make sence??

Thanks

The ignition control unit is a small silver box on the driver's side under the hood closer to the front head light and is mounted with three bolts under the hood

I got a non Bosh unit.. that is manufactured in germany and it works great, looks different from original
