Sorry to hear the anticlimatic startup after your rebuild.....

If it were my car I would smell the tail pipe for the smell of raw fuel.....

additionally, when I first got the old 190e it idled very poorly. I did so many things to try and get it to run right it was insane.

A friend suggested bleeding the injector lines at the fuel distributor which I thought was absurd. Well.... I finally tried it and i was amazed at the amount of crack that came out. My 190e is an 87.

I have also heard (forgive the unfounded part of this) but doesn't disconnecting the battery and waiting for over ten minutes reset the ECU? I thought of this after rereading your post about twisting the distributor.

Also, did you check the OVP relay fuse?

Keep us posted,

Haasman
