Can I bypass the security igition?
I have a 95 Mercedes C220, I have a key that turns on the ignition and the instruments come on but it will not start. I jump wired the starter & it turns over. Does this car come with a security system, and can I bypass it? I bought it as a non runner.

Is there a security light on when trying to start it?

No security light on, I thought the car might have a special key.

I found no fuel presure, I'm also checking the relays, and now will check the fuel pump.
