PLZZZZ sign up for an English course at your local community college. Replace the ignition module.
Sounds like you replaced fuel pump relay, overload relay and I am not sure the third relay...
You also replaced distributor cap, rotor, and spark plugs. Fuel filter was also replaced...
I would say your problem is the crank position sensor.
Next time don't listen to the car seller, they always say "Great Car"'s Bullshit. You need to learn to stay away from trouble. I won't buy anything older then 15 years even for Low mileage.
Re buying older cars..Sometimes you get lucky
Bought my 85 380se last year 220,000 on the clock... Has been very pleased overall..Yeah, there were some fixits to do...Leaky valve cover gasket, replacing a couple door checks, oil pressure sender, and seat adjustment switch, but whaddya want for a 23 yr old vehicle?
