Update please read!!!!!!!!!!
hello everyone im here with an update! I had the car towed to a shop near my house and its been there over a week i finally went there tuesday to see what the problem was and the guy said he thought it was the relay but he wanted to test it first. heres the kicker: he didnt know what pins were for the fuel pumps! i had to tell him pins 1 &2 so he jumps them and said the pumps came on. ok so he ordered a new mas relay puts it in says its starts right up then he said he went to start it again and it wouldnt start. so this morning he said it started six times in a row!
so i get out of work thinking im picking up my car and now hes like he doesnt think its the relay its a bad wire!!!!!!!!! wtf is going on? i dont think he knows what hes doing does anyone agree? Im about to just have the car towed back to my house.

Sounds like you need a new mechanic ! He could have easily checked the wires resistance before hand. Anyone can throw parts at a car and eventually get it to work !
yeah this guy sucks im getting my car out of there tomorrow.

Is this guy an Indie MB or at least German car guy? Use the recommended shop link here.

It is not worth wasting time and money on someone who says they know "cars". MB is not your average car. I use a couple and they are MB specialists and I am 100% confident and trust in them and refer friends to them as well.
Most of the easy stuff I do myself with lots of help here. Keep us updated on how it is going.
Yeah as a matter of fact I did put a new one yesterday. The car started it's driving great but now the cluster gauges aren't working! What's that about?
I'm realizing this now. The fuel pumps and filter I did on my own but this problem has got me going crazy I still have my old mas relay in the car now it's starting and driving with the new ovp just now my fuel Oil pressure and temp gauges aren't working along with the dash lights. But it is running a lot smoother.
New news everyone!
ok so ive been driving the car all weekend went up to the cape and back. I just got home, shut the car off, went back outside to move it and it wouldnt start. So it appears to be a hot starting problem instead of an electrical problem like the other mechanic told me. I dont know if thats better or worse. Any ideas?
