1990 300SE < ONLY 40,000 MILES. PURCHASED OUT OF FLORIDA BUT NOW BACK HERE IN TULSA OKLAHOMA... SHE HAS A HARD TIME STARTING. STARTS THEN STALLS OUT. TAKES ABOUT 6-10 TRIES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTS RUMBLING THEN IS OK. JACKIE COOPER IMPORTS SD IT WAS THE 02 CENSOR BUT $300 LATER ... SAME PROBLEM. APPEARS IT MAY NOT BE GETTING ENOUGH FUEL WHEN STARTING?

 

there is a cold start valve on it Mr. Bond.

it has to be enriched during starting especially if the weather is cold.

pull it out and see if it's spraying.

 

YUP! STILL SPRAYING >> TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP >>> AFTER THEY CHECKED ABOUT 50 DIFFERENT THINGS THAT IT COULD BE.... THEY FOUND 50 DIFFERENT THINGS IT WASN'T. STILL UNRESOLVED >>>>>
I'M GOING TO INSTALL A BLOCK HEATER FROM THE PARTS LINK > MBPARTS. THAT SHOULD SOLVE THE COLD ENGINE PROBLEM. CHEAP TOO!
