[W126 Coupe] need some help ? fuel ?

[Gary]

i should know what you mean when you say spark....but i don't...how do i do that?  is there a tool?   do you mean check the spark plug wires?  when i start the car it just turns and turns so i may have a loose plug wire or i need a new rotor/distributor cap.  or bad plugs   i did change them out about 6 months ago...  thanks for your help

Your fuel pump relay is on the fire wall..it should have 6000 written on it, next to one that reads Klima.   They are black, 3 tall, 1 deep 3 wide or there about.

You can jumper pins 7 & 8 in the receptacle to bring 12V directly to your pumps.

if the pumps are humming I would check for spark next.
