190e startup trickery??
being used to an american car i try to be light on the key when im turning it to start.ive noticed too in that she wants to fire up but its ugly to say the least for 5-6 seconds,,that is,, when i turn the key just enough to fire the engine and let it go. if it fires it idles rough and unless i let it run a few second before giving her gas it wants to stall but doesnt.,,,,,but if when i turn the key all the way over as far as i can firmly,but of course not roughly {she was already "rescued"from a bad owner once}.when doing that shell fire up strong and proud. it would seem obvious,,just start her up as described in the latter. but,id rather look stupid asking a question,than look stupid at the mechanics shop having him tell me i could have prevented this...so,is a firm turn to the right/o.k./the way its supposed to be ???? or is she trying to tell me theres an electrical failure in the ignition sometime soon?? im pretty sure the computer system on mine isnt one that a rocket scientist would be afraid of,,but for me,well,im not much of a car mechanic nor mechanics enthusiast.ive just learned that if its possible i should do all the mechanical work i can because its so hard to trust anyone..nobody cares about my car more than me.
