I'm confused on this one. I absolutely see a difference in starting when I have some pedal depressed. I purchased my 83 300SD in the summer and it started fine no pedal, idled about 400 rpm indicated (which seems mightly low to me from my gasser experience). As the weather began to cool off in the fall, it would start, run about 2 seconds and die. Start again and run fine. When it began to stall twice, I decided to add a little pedal (about 1/4) while starting and it made a huge difference. I would only have to start it once. If it was a really cold engine, it would start, cough and sputter for about 5 seconds, then come around.
My experience certainly indicates that mine is not getting full fuel at start with no pedal depressed. Is there something wrong with my system?
