Please help...starts but dies a few seconds later
Help Please
trying to get a 380sl running that has been sitting for years. removed and cleaned fuel tank. replaced fuel pump and filter.
the car will now start but will only run a few seconds before it dies.
any suggestions? I'm questioning the fuel pressure dampner. just before or when the car dies I hear a noise which sounds like it is coming from the fuel pump. I think the pump might be going dry and the noise is from the fuel pump impellers.
appreciate any input.
