fuel system

Post by 3basecharlie »

I have a 1990 240 wagon, recently it wouldn't turn over, it chranks, but it's seems like it's getting no gas. Had it towed home and 30 minutes latter it turned over. It worked like this for a week, multiple starts, then yesterday it stops while running, when I came back to the car an hour latter it starts. I went to go home at the end of the day it starts right up, but within 10 minutes it dies again.
I'm assuming fuel pump relay? If so, where is it located? If not what's next
Thanks

The fuel system relay is behind the right side of the dash. Also check fuse 4 (8 amp) - in tank pump, fuse 6 (16 amp) - main fuel pump and the fuel injection fuse (25 amp blade type) mounted on the left wheel housing near the ignition coil.

When you switch on the ignition can you hear the pumps?
