stalling problem partly solved
some of you may remember my stalling '87 300e. 1/3 of the problem is now fixed. it no longer has a fluctuation at idle thanks to a new metering housing. it still stalls over half the time at warm startup unless i depress the gas pedal, which i can live with. today it stalled while driving for the first time since the repair, and this is the one that bothers me. first i lose power steering, etc. with the engine still running and after a couple of seconds the engine cuts out, too. the car then requires a minute or more before it will restart. it will crank, but won't start. could this be the ovp or fuel pump relay? must i have a tech look at it again or can i tell from the behavior which is the culprit? i am not the most technically inclined person, but i have a decent intuition and limited funds..
