'82 300SD Idle issues
Have a quick question.....My SD will not idle when it is cold. I have to sit in it w/ my foot on the accelerator until it warms, then it will idle fine. After the car is warm, no problems, normal operation. Any input? Thanks, David.

I am assuming you are using diesel fuel and not an alternative fuel and that your idle speed is normal and not turned way down.
Ceck to see that your glow plugs and glow plug system is working properly. After that worn injector nozzles, and Injection pump timing, valves needing adjustment all can paly a part in causing the problem. But it would be nice to have more information. Dose your car start easily? When you start your car is it smoking and what color is the smoke. What color is the smoke while you are holding down the pedal and dose the smoke go away after the car is warmed up? Dose the car idle smoothly after it is warmed up? How many miles are on your car? When was the last time your fuel filters were changed?

Additional tip:
If your rack damper bolt on the back of the Injection Pump is too tight it will cause hard starts and make it have a hard time idling when cold. Adjusting it properly can help a lot.
