I was stunned to read in my owners manual that restarting a warm 1990TE engine may require pressing down on the accelerator pedal...that is a definite no-no for BMWs and I have been having a little trouble restarting the 300 after the engine has warmed up. Damn, MB expects this to occur, I feel like an idiot for not reading the owners manual completely. Live (read) and learn I reckon...cliff
