300E Cold start issues
OK. So I bought this car the other day, and it runs great, except for one problem. Upon cold start, it runs really rough, and if I so much as touch the gas pedal, it stalls. It takes several cranks, and then stutters like all hell. Once it warms up, it's fine. This is a completely different beast to me (coming from a W123 diesel), and I can't seem to find another post that matches my symptoms (if I'm missing something on this board, please let me know). Also, possibly related, the previous owner mentioned that the idle had been turned up a bit (warm idle @ ~2k) to compensate for a crack in the insulation of a wire going to an injector. I've ordered a part to fix that (a little replacement boot). I also plan on checking into the OVP this weekend, as the ABS light is on, and I've heard that relay can do stange things when it goes south. Let me know what you folks think. Thanks!
