Our '88 240 DL died yesterday morning. I haven't had much time to look at it yet, but I believe it to be fuel related. I changed almost every ignition component out last year, so I'm just asuming it's a fuel issue. I'll know more once I get it to the house. Anyway, I know the fuel pump relays are notorious for going bad. I also know that there is a way to "jump" two of the contacts to see if it will start. But, I don't remember which two contacts they are. Also, if I jump it, and it starts, do you think it would be okay to drive it home? It's less then a 1/4 of a mile up the street. Thanks in advance!
