I have an 89' 300E and it turns but will not start. Suggestions?

 

Any suggestions??

 

there too many reasons for your problem... I would suggest this to begin...

- fuel pumps... do you hear a faint buzz noise when you turn the ignition key ON..? Check the fuse box for any boken fuse...

 

fuel filter!

 

suggestions. fuel, coil, distrubitor cap, fuel pump, filter, compression, fuel distrubitor and a hunderd other things

 

I would start with some basic questions. Have you done anything to the vehicle recently and if you have start there to see if you have blown a fuse or diturbed something.
Did it just fail to start one morning or did it conk out whilst driving ?
Have you tried removing a spark plug after engine cranking and if so was the plug wet with fuel ? Is there spark at the plugs when you crank it over ?
As a shot in the dark my present 1989 300 TE failed to start a few weeks ago and I had a similar problem with my previous 260 E cause in both cases was the fuel relay.
In both cases I managed to re-start them by removing the fuel relay tapping it with a spanner and re-fitting the relay. It started straight away but would not start again a few minutes later. In both cases a new fuel relay fixed the problem permanantly. The relay is located behind the battery where there are a number of relays grouped together its next to the overload relay. Its worth checking the fuses in the overload relay whilst you are there. They are under a small transparent cap on the top of the relay itself. This relay can also cause problems so its worth checking its had the later relay. Hope this helps.
