It is a 1988 240 with 140k miles. Died while driving -- just like I cut the key off. All lights work and it turns over fine, just no start.

Now, I am second guessing myself and what I should have done.

I was by myself and when it died, being on the side of the road, I couldn't hear the pump running because of the traffic noise. I replaced the FP relay (keep an extra with me), no good. Then jumped between fuse 4 and 6 -- no good. Checked 25 amp fuse under hood -- looked good. Unplugged the AMM and tried to start -- no good. So, I check fuses in the cab and all were also good.

Didn't see anything obvious under the hood and in the fuse box, so my question is: Being by myself and not able to check fire and that fuel pump was working, what else should I have done?

Sad to see it on the back of a flatbed -- I feel like I am forgetting something and there was more for me to do. Any suggestions will go to the memory bank!

Thanks guys;
