Hey all.
You've been great help in the past and lets do it again!

I was driving along and my 1987 740 turbo (wagon, blue) just died.
NO sputtering.
No coughing.
Just died.

I would wait a minute or two, and then the engine would pop once or twice
but never start.
After waiting twenty minutes, it ran for three minutes and just as suddenly
as before, died.
Incidentally, after the tow to my house, it won't start at all.
And I did run it 'dangerously' low on gas so i thought it might be a clogged
fuel line, but I don't even get a 'buzz' outta the secondary fuel pump.

I've checked the fuses, traded out a white relay under the ashtray, checked
some hoses... nothing seems to be out of placement.


Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Matthew
 
So the fuel pump isn't running when you crank it? Did you check for voltage
at the pump?
 
i noticed where the fuse gangs are ...well lets just say mine was bent open
and the fuse did not make full conection . when u prob the fuel fuse it will
read voltage but not at the pump
