hi guys/gals,
I am having Starting problems on my 1988 190E 2.3. The engine turns over, but I have to hit on the gas pedal quite a few times, before the engine starts. this happens everytime after i leave the car for 5 or more hours.

If the car is still hot, I just have to hit the gas pedal once, and it starts easily.

Any ideas?

I was thinking it might be ECU. But I dont wanna replace th ECU as of yet.

Could it be the overvoltage protector? If so how much does an OVP cost?

Thanks
Saqib Ali
