The fuel pump relay is behind the battery. remove it and bridge pin #30 (should be under power) and #87 (that goes to the fuel pump).
If the fuel pump kicks in you know the relay is bad

SOURCE: 1992 190e mercedes won't start?

it sounds like your fuel distributer is clogged. Replace your fuel filter. first you can try to bleed your system. take 12mm. wrech and loosen up you lines(one at a time) and crank your engine over(with a battery charger)and force your fuel bubbles out of the lines. while the engine is cranking and the line is loose knock on the line with the wrench and you will probably see a whole buch of rust poor out of the loose fitting. do thius repeatedly untill engine fires off-then with engine running loosen up your lines and repeat if any lines loosen up and there is no idle change that means that cylender is not firing and your injecter is not working. These mechanical style injecter's take alot of pressure to open the poppet valve to spray fuel.hope I have been helpful

SOURCE: won't start

hello, first check all vacuum line,intake manifold in order ,fuel pump is working,hoping the fuel pressure is good,firing or ignition is working also,try to check your spare plug,determine the condition,have fuel or traces of ignition spark, check your excess voltage protection (relay) which supply power in engine side,located at fuse box,also you may check your fuel distributor (free up) or your injector nozzle for proper spray pattern,workshop have special tool for fuel pressure,ty

SOURCE: getting fuel, won' start

1. Check if you are getting spark from the distributor cap, if no, go to #2.
2. Check if you are getting spark from the ignition coil, if no, go to #3. If yes, your distributor cap is worn out.
3. Check if you are getting voltage to the coil, if no, it could be the ignition control unit that is faulty. If yes, your ignition coil is faulty.

Thats not very costly the relay is cheap. The tune up you probably need is what will be costly. Coil, Cap, Rotor, Wires and plugs also maybe the OVP relay. Can you hear the fuel pumps when you try and start it? It doesnt have to turn over they should come on for a few seconds when the ignition is in the on position.

Can't find the fuel pump relay on my 1990 190E Mercedes. Every thing I see says it is in the engine compartment behind the battery. Not so on my 190E. Where else could the fuel pump relay be?

Relay should be behind fuses under a screwed down cover. My question to you is why would you think the relay is bad? Check voltage at the pump as someone turns the car to on. At this age it's most likely a dead or dying pump. Other things to consider are OVP relay (behind the battery) , coil dead, general tune up ie plugs, wires, cap and rotor.

My 88 mercedes 190e suddenly started running rough, and cutting out, then died. It started back up, ran fine, then sputtered and died again. Im visiting my brother in a very rainy area, my home climate...

Your fuel pump could well be giving up the ghost.Do you hear a uneven buzzing sound from the rear?
We also replace a lot of overvoltage protection relays.Also,on that baby Benz ,don't overlook the distributor cap or ignition wires with the high humidity.Replace them with Bosch if marginal.

what is the fuel pressure reading, bet it's zero. replace the fuel pump and the fuel filter. when fuel gets old it gums up the pump and it won't spin and produce pressure, very common complaint on stored cars, i.e. no fuel pressure.

When a vehicle has been left for a long time without being started it will need the following: New fuel, New battery, change of engine oil, possibly transmission oil and brake fluid as well. All fluids in the engine will tend to settle and separate out over time if left. Ideally you start the engine weekly if you put a car aside.
