Starting issues
 
I have a 1989 300E. I live in Atlanta and work in New York right now so I don’t drive the car during the week. In the past month when I come home on Friday and get in the car it has been very hard to start can take 5 mins. Once started when I come to a stop and just have my foot on the brake the car will die. If the car is in Neutral or Park no problem. So when I come to a stop I keep my foot on the gas and brake, or keep the car in N. When the light changes I floor it, the car will putter for 10 seconds or cut off and then it just takes off spinning the tires. It will do this until I park the car for an hour or so and it is fine the rest of the weekend. It will start on first try and drive fine. It does idle very rough now though. Could this be my fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel lines, or any other suggestions? Thanks for your help in advance.

Just a wild-ass guess......water in the gas? :confused:

I just thought about it, it started after getting gas one day and it starting iling very funny. How can I check and or find out.

Get one or two bottles of gasline anti-freeze ( IF you can get it in Atlanta ).
Or, go and get some Methyl Hydrate ( drugstore ) & pour about 6 or 7 ounces into the gastank. ;)
