I had a no-start when it was time to get home. Tried several times, no starts again, and said "just get me home". The 240 thought a about it while I waited a short 5 min and it started up and ran fine for the 5 mile trip home. It was a good thing it wouldn't start again so I didn't have to chase a phantom.


For a cruel punishment the 1992 244 just had to wait until I was ready find the problem, about two weeks. Not wanting to get dirty I started looking for the fuel pump relay. The 240 fuel pump relay, from what I read everywhere was clipped to the interior passenger firewall, up high right in the middle with neon arrows pointing to it. What, not there, no neon arrows pointing to it? It took a few times looking for it and determined everyone was wrong. It is mounted on one of the two ECU units, bound by a bracket built into the ECU mounting.

Searched for known good one and installed a resoldered unit found in the 1993 940 glove compartment. Fired right up.

Resoldered the old 240 relay but I had doubts because of one of the discolored coil windings. Did not work out.

Keep a spare relay in the glove compartment and it is not over cautious to resolder a new Strible or aftermarket relay.
