Have an '85 380SL that always starts first time when cold. When car is warmed up though it takes several times before it will start even with A/C and radio turned off. Is there some filter that needs cleaning or replacing?

A couple of more things need to be known before a decent guess can be made. does it help to speed the restart of the accelerator is held about half-way open. If so, I'd suspect leaking injectors. If it just takes a lot of cranking, and you are sure the fuel pump is running (listen for it when the key first is turned to the start position or have another person listen) then the problem is somewhere else, either in the fuel or ignition system and it would be better to get a shop to look at it for a fuel pressure and leakdown test, as well as putting it on a scope to check the ignition performance.

The most common failures on this car are the over-voltage relay and the fuel pressure accumulator. Be sure to have these checked as well....
