Q: Car will not start/no fuel - 1989 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL
I went outside to start up my car a few days ago, and it would not start. I can tell it’s not getting fuel. So I bought a new fuel pump and relay, but this didn’t do any good. It still will not start. I don’t know what to do next. Can you please give me some advice and suggestions?
