Where is my cold start valve located?
Just ordered a cold start valve for my '88 190e 2.3 from Phil(thanks) at Fastlane. Where is the thing located on my car? Thanks.

it would be on the intake manifold near the air intake from the air cleaner. it looks a lot like a fuel injector. it will have a fuel line and an electrical line. prob have to take the air cleaner or its snorkle off to see it.

Pull the air cleaner assembly off. It is between intake runner 2 and 3 right in the middle next to the head. You will see the four regular injectors and there lines, then dead center bewteen 2 and 3 you will see a bigger injector with a hard line and electrical connector on it. That is the Cold Start Valve.

Haven't replaced a cold start injector for any starting problem EVER!
Only real problems are for LEAKAGE, either into the engine OR for external leaks. WHY do you think you need a cold start injector. mctwin2man is correct on the location.

The engine starts and stalls several times when cold but will eventually start and idle at 1100 rpms for 30-40 seconds before the idle begins surging and falling from 1100-400 rpms and will eventually stall. Replacing the OVP with a used unit made the engine harder to start but when coaxed until warm would idle at a solid, smooth 750 rpm but still seemed to hesitate under intial acceleration.
The head gasket has been replaced, plugs and wires replaced. Your thoughts? Zip |

I wonder if you have a vacuum leak(s)?
Once the system warms up, things get "sealed" a little better. One possibility.
