[W126 Coupe] W126 electrical/fuel issue

[Shin Takei]

 I had a similar problem I posted a while back. the car would die cruising at 80mph in the fast lane. I had thrilling moments making it across all the lanes to the shoulder, where it would start again later.? It was the fuel cut off and speed control relay. Probably the same thing Jonathan is talking about.

I'd start w/ a fuel pump relay just for fun...  If they pumps we bad 
they would likely be making a nasty sound or two..  Any shop that says 
we need to throw parts @ a problem to fix it is retarded..  Test 
pressures, test volume, test amperage draw....there are LOTS of things 
one can do before throwing parts @ a fuel system problem.  If possible I 
would return those parts until you go through things...?

Where are you located??
