1991 300ce m104.98 Intermittent Start Problems
1991 300ce m104.98 has intermittent start problem - it doesn't matter cold or hot. It's about 50% start /hard start. This comes with shaky idle. I've so far replaced rotor, distributor, wires, plugs, regulator, belt. Battery tests good, starter good, alternator good. Would fuel system be next to check/replace?

Can you check fuel pressure? Might be a tires accumulator.

I do not access to a pressure gauge. Would the accumulator only affect warm starts?

Many owners have solved this problem by replacing the fuel pressure regulator.

If the diaphragm leaks, fuel pressure will rapidly bleed off after engine shutdown, and it will take considerable cranking to build pressure for the next restart. This can happen hot or cold, and it can be an intermittent problem, but will become more frequent with continued use. Many FPRs get replaced when the real problem is the accumulator. AFAIK know the FPR has no organic internal parts, but the accumulator does, which are subject to both deterioration with time and cracks due to repeated stress. You can clearly see the cranks in the photos I posted in the above referenced post that caused the internal leak. With the new accumulator, my car immediately returned to normally quick cold and hot starts, and it's easy to change. Duke Last edited by Duke2.6; 12-01-2017 at 11:07 AM. |
