I have a 190e 2.3 16v and I was mucking around with the air/fuel mixture screw and now the car won't start, actually it starts then enigne dies instantly. Today I got someone to crank the engine and the engine stay running when i depress the air sensor plate a little. As soon as I release the plate it dies. Its extremely frustrating. I have no idea if its too lean or too rich. I've learnt my lesson, I won't muck around with things I have no idea about.
Thanks

Do you remember the direction you turned it? Clock wise or ccw? IF the engine dies after it gets it cold start shot of fuel, then you must have leaned out the fuel mixture to much,Turn the 3mm allen cw, this should be done slowly, you may remember how much you turned it at the start,If so then go that much to begin with,If you cant remember try two full turns to see if you can get it to catch, what you are doing is turning a screw to hold that plate from coming up quite as far just like holding it with your finger.good luck JNT
