If the 2 lights on the rearview mirror do not blink should the car still start?

What is your question?

When I press the button to unlock or lock the car there is no response. I'm using the key manually and I didn't notice the red or green lights go on. So the car only starts for a couple of minutes then it won't start at all. Then the car does not fire up like something's cutting out and no fuel is getting through.

What makes this problem better or worse?

I can't tell cause it won't stay on

How long has your 1996 Mercedes-Benz C220 had this problem?

Since last Friday, the car was running smooth
