89 240 won't start 200

The fuel injection relay is on the firewall just above your passenger's toes. A white box with both a fuel pump and a system relay inside. The usual problem is cracks in its solder joints. Replace or resolder.

To check to see if that's the no-start issue, jumper fuse 6 to fuse 4. You'll hear the pumps come on when you do that, bypassing the fuel injection relay and the 25A fuse under the hood. I'd have told you that earlier, but you said you had no power on fuse #6, and now you haven't told me any different.

The symptoms leading up to the no-start, with the black smoke and all, make me wonder if you've lost the fuel pressure regulator. You say the plugs were a "little" wet? Two easy tests:

1) with the motor off, check the small vacuum hose into the fuel pressure regulator. If you see evidence of fuel in there, that is your trouble.

2) with the key off, disconnect the AMM's electrical plug. Try to start it with the AMM disconnected. If it starts then, you need to find another AMM.

Do you have a Bentley?
