The (square , plastic IIRC) fuel filter next to the pump needs to be changed ASAP .
Bosch electric fuel pumps use the fuel they're pumping through (at a rather high pressure (32 #) and volume) to lubricate and cool them ~ back in the day , every time a Customer ran their Bosch fuel injected car out of fuel , it needed a $300 new pump....
Change that filter every 12 months or 10,000 miles or you'll be doing this a _LOT- .

So the 77 280SE stopped while driving and I got towed in. It would not restart. Very cold day and it would not start again.
Here's what I did:
1. Took old fuel pump out and put it back in again (tried to buy a new one. Three tries none fit).
2. Replaced the fuel injection hose with a little larger one.
3. Recharged the battery (it wore down from so many attempts to start).
4. Drained all fuel and put a gallon of fresh fuel in.
Car starts and runs fine now.
Vaccuum stuff? Air in fuel system?
Any thoughts why it stopped like that on the road would be so greatly appreciated. I'm so lost.
