Mb 230e -89
Question 230 -89 starts then stalles immediatly

My -89 230e. It starts then stoppes directly. Iv e managed 2 get it running a few times but only on very high rpms. Ive checked the fuel pump, and the relay I fixed once already. Ive added perol-cleaner and changed the fuel-filter. Checked all fuses and changed all 4 plugs. Also every cable (as good as i could) in the ignition system. I live in Norway so moisture is more then common in the air. Pease, if somebody have any idea what I should do next please email me at:

Check the fuse in the ovp (overvoltage protection relay). It is located behind the black plastic cover behind the battery. A slightly tight reach. It´s a 10 amp fuse. Sometimes the relay itself also goes bad..
Some ovp have one fuse and some have two fuses..
