Same difficulty here...My 1992 (M104). I just bought this car. It has 83000 miles.

I'm still getting familiar with this car (my first MB). I have a shop manual on order...(i prefer to do my own maintenance). Wasn't too sure sure about accumalator....Wasn't too sure I actually had one. Seen One on Ebay. What does it actually do? Seems we all think perhaps a fuel problem. Seems thats if the electric fuel pump was started before actually turning the Ignition switch to the Start position the needed fuel pressure would be available. Perhaps the accumalator plays a roll in this senario?
