Intermitent No start problem 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Nick on  Mon Dec 4 08:25 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi, my 85 240 wagon (non-turbo) has an intermittent starting problem. I can drive it for a few days and then all of a sudden it will not start. The engine will crank and crank, but just not start up. The fuel pump relay is new and I can hear the fuel pump working. When I brought it to the mechanics that night, there was no spark. The next morning,the car started right up for the mechanics and has been for the past week. This is not the first time this has happened to me. The mechanics cannot replicate this problem, so they can't determine the cause. What can I do to get my car to not start for them like it doesn't for me?

-Nick
