On the similar topic, I have a 87 190e 2.3, it takes a few cranks inorder to start, so as once warmed up.
Some say is the accumulator leak gas back into the return system so the fuel pressure dropped when stopped,
would the system still work if I block off the return line of the accumulator?
The leak could be due to some hole in the diaphragm of the accumulator?
At present the cold start valve is not hooked up since it can flood the engine, I fidn not much difference in cranking time between hooking up cold start valve or not.
TIA.
