1988 300ce engine wont start help!
engine start and instantly shut off even i rev it high it wont stay on no more than 2 seconds and when i looked to speedometer the RPM didnt move just stay on 0. got checked my mechanic yesterday he said fuel distributor, and after i told him the RPM didnt move he said 90% ignition control module is the problem. so my question is which one is most likely the problem? thanks for any advice

Start with the OVP which distributes the speed signal.

ok, so the problem was the fuel pump fuse i think, the little box behind the battery that has 10amp fuse, the fuse was blown and now everything is working fine. Thank You for all the advices Thank You!!!!
