Asked by C230SeattleGuy Jun 12, 2016 at 08:19 PM about the 1994 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 280 Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1994 Mercedes Benz C280. (what's funny is I wrote
C230SeattleGuy, and I don't even own a C230. Ha Ha!)  I am the guy with
the neverending story of a "Crank but no start"  I replaced the following as
recommended would work and have my car start and not staul out
anymore: Spark plugs, wireset, crankshaft position sensor, and ignition
coils

Seriously, a mechanical engineer I know says "Wallace. You don't need to
replace the fuel pump. I can take it out and repair it, myself."  So the
question is, can he really do this?, or is he just think he can do it because
he is a mechanical engineer?   What's the verdict.     Onto the

2nd Question is this:  A mechanic says that the ground wire (a flat metal
strap/wire (with no insulation) attached to the engine with bolts at either
end could have corrosion, keeping the spark from happening.  Could this
be true?

Thank you "tennisshoes" Is the ground wire in a specific place on a Mercedes Benz C280, top or bottom of the engine. Now that I am looking for an "insulated wire", the location is really helpful. Thank you!

@bob_nueske: thank you so much for your answers, they are very helpful. Same question to you as I asked of "tennisshoes", where is the location of the ground wire for the engine, if I am to find one insulated. Is it located at the top, side, bottom of the engine? Thanks!
