Hello, I have a 1993 MBZ 400 SEL with 167000 miles on it. It was running just fine, but after stopping at a red light, I pressed the gas and the engine just stopped. The radio continued to play. Now it won't start, the engines turns a bit but that's it. If anyone has any ideas it would be great. Also, some people think it's the starter. I couldn't find it, does anyone know how to get at it? Thank you.
