My car, 1991 300CE at 143m, bought it at 111m. It has always had a slightly sluggish start. I occasionally get a quick cold start so that must be the cold start valve working? But for most cold starts, it doesn't catch for a couple of seconds, but it will catch. If I let go too soon and it does not start, and then I restart, it catches immediately. A hot start is fine also. But anything less than a hot start, it stumbles. The car otherwise drives and idles perfectly. I decided to change the fuel filter and since I was going to be rooting around there, I decided to change the accumulator. I only have history back to about 87m and no record of these changes. It's been a few days, and absolutely nothing has changed.

I have used Techron every so often since I bought the car. Some new injectors are on the way, so I'll give them a shot.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
