Tries to turn over but doesn't.......... 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Reid Wilkins on  Sat Nov 16 21:16 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. I parked my 89 240 in the parking lot to go to eat. I came back, and the car would try to start, but wouldnt turn over. I immediately thought it was the fuel injection fuse, and I replaced that, but that didn't work. I didnt have that much gas, so I got 2 gallons and put it in the car. That didnt work, even after some starting fluid, where it would start for a split second. The weird thing is, the battery kept getting weaker and weaker as I tried to start it. One thing that has made me think is the noise from the pump when the gas is low. I have been meaning to put in the fuel filter also.

What should I check for? I'm gonna go check the AMM, switch out the fuel pump relay from my brother's 89 240, check the airbox for restrictions, and i'm gonna check out the LH blade fuse and its wiring. Anything else I should check for? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
