Unknown problem

I have a 97 s420 that does not run. It starts to run then shuts off. Possible that the fuel pump is shutting off after it starts. can anyone help? Where is the fuel pump?

RE: Unknown problem

The fuel pump is under the car in the back, near the rear axle, but before you try anything else, try locking and unlocking the car with your remote key. The fuel pump shut offf part of the alarm system may be activated. Locking and unlocking will reset the system if that is the problem. Good luck.
