Default 1984 380sl won't start after playing with anti theft gizmo

I just purchased the car, put new injectors, fuel pump/filters all changed, new battery & tires on it and took it for a high speed run on the I-10 (I'm down in Phoenix area). When I bought the battery, I bought a key chain battery also. After the run I played with the key chain clicker a number of times to see if it worked. Wouldn't lock the doors but it made all kinds of noise under the hood....finally got it to quite down and I left it set. I went out to start it this morning and it turned over fine and started, for 5 seconds, then a clunk. Cannot get it restarted.


I thought it might be out of gas, so I added 3 gallons just to make sure it had fuel.


I cracked the line on top of the motor to make sure there was fuel...yep it was there, pulled a plug and saw spark. Darn thing will spin but no start.


Does anyone know if the anti-theft will stop it from starting, and how can I solve? Also, can the fuel pressure be checked on these puppies?


Any help would be appreciated. thanks marv
