OK here goes, '85 190E 2.3 Automatic. When started cold engine starts and dies immediately. After about five starts engine will remain running for short period of time. Five more starts and the engine is warm enought to begin to idle. If at any time the throttle is actuated before the engine has warmed the car dies immediately.

The temp sensor seems to be working (resistance drops as engine warms), although unplugging the temp sensor does not seem to affect the starting problem. The Aux air loop motor functions when direct powered (can see the opening move.) Unplugging the EHA also does not seem to affect the cold starting condition.

Any ideas before i do the full on fuel pressure test rigamarole?

Thanks in advance.
