When I first bought my '98 I brought it to a well respected MB shop in Mass to have the fuel lines replaced among other things done. When they were done with the work they cranked and cranked it and it would not start. They killed the battery and while they waited for it to charge a little I pulled out the diagram I had from the EPC and showed them two of the lines were reversed. They absolutely denied it could be possible.

They kept cranking and still nothing. I told them to reverse the two lines and I would accept full responsibility for it but put a side bet of 20% of the service cost that it would fix it. Of course it fixed it, and I saved $120 on the day's work but they still could not believe they screwed it up...you have the exact same error on yours...check the lift pump against the attached diagram and switch the lines on it and the car will start right up.

By the way, after that experience I never let another tech touch my car.
