On the ignition side I have already replaced the rotor, cap, wires and plugs only thing left is coil and have a new one coming. I was pretty sure by process of elimination that it would be the coil, but was unsure of EZL. I will not at this point, however, rule out the drivers seat. I have read every thread on this site about every aspect of hard starts. This it seems is the most elusive diagnostic challege for MBs.
