WELL....I started my 89 190E 2.6 this morning without any problem, started a few times off and on to move it around the yard. Started and went across town to Lowes and went into the store...in the store about 20 minutes. Come back out, try to start the car.....starter turns just like always...car won't start. It has never acted like this before. I don't believe it's the engine itself....something in the ignition or fuel system. I'm going to let it cool off for a while and go back to see if she will run cold. She has 229,000 miles on her and has been my daily driver for a while. I can hear the fuel pump power up like always, there is half tank of gas. When the starter is turning, I tried giving it a little gas as I sometimes have to do when starting hot engine...it's as though something grabbed a time or two, like it tried to start and couldn't. Without touching the gas it sounds as it normally does when starting. Very odd....
any suggestions where to start? My MB tech place is 50 miles away. I'll get it home after while if I have to pull it with my diesel Chevy.
