My 86 300E (160k) idles somewhat rough. Also never starts the first time. Engine cranks maybe 2 or 3 seconds, catches, dies, then starts on the second try. Have recent plugs, injectors, plug wires, brain box etc. Runs very smooth/strong now except at idle. Any suggestions?

Have a power balance done on the engine to determine which if any of the cyl's are not contributing to the engine at idle. It will help in finding the problem.

Please advise as to what turns out to be the problem, as my '88 300TE acts the same way. I haven't done much to run the problem down other than a comprehensive tune-up, which did not impact the problem. My guess is that the fuel line pressure is bleeding off somewhere; there are 2 check-valves in the system, both of which I've replaced to no avail. I changed the fuel filter too. Good luck!
