1986 300 E wont stay running

turns over and starts but will not run. removed air cleaner and i hear a clicking sound generating from the throttle body/carb when the ignition is on. clicking sound stops when the motor starts. not sure where to start...

you should probably post this in the forum specific to this model: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w124-28/

Can you hear your fuel pumps run when you turn the key to the on position? You should hear a humming sound coming from the back of the car for a few seconds when you turn the key to the on position. If no sound, suspect a bad Fuel Pump Relay.
