After using this thread for research......(Thank you very much). I think I have found my problem. However I cannot find the solution.

My car (1984 Euro 500SL) had been sitting for years. I heard a lot about clearning the airflow plate if it was sticky. I pushed down on it with the car off, it had medium pressure. But as it wouldn't go any further, the plate popped right back up to it's usual position, and now it is extremely easy to push down. Flicking my finger on it would allow it to travel it's entire distance.

ALSO, I believe I'm flooding the hell out of my engine now!!! I have fuel dripping from somewhere where there never was before. My car will turn over for days, but won't come close to firing. Please help!!!!!

Thank you
