W116, BENZ AID - COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Hi there. First i want to thank everyone at MercedesSource for all the help to us. Thank you. I lump these two symptoms together because they seem to possibly be related. First, is the regular occurrance of hard starting only when the engine is still warm. My engine starts great when completely cold, i never have to crank more than a second. But most often when i return to my car after it has sat for up to 2 hours and is still warm , i have to crank three times usually, and sometimes 4 or 5. And then, sometimes there is a real loss of power that accompanies the car after i am started.

how do i get to window switch in center console for replacement on my 87 300sdl?

My 86 560sel sputters as i first step on the gas. At about 1500 rpm the engine picks up and runs like the beast its supposed to be. When i come to a complete stop and the car is still in gear the engine misses constantly. If i just put it in neutral it revs a little and runs smooth again. I just bought this car for next to nothing and put heat in the gas tank, along with a good amount of the recommended "premium" fuel, and it seems to have helped a little bit so far.

My 1985 300td wagon will not idle. I cleaned all the lines, fuel filters, and even installed new injectors. I checked all the vacuum lines to the best of my ability. It is not starting as easily as it used to, takes some cranking. I turn the idle screw up so that it runs at high rpms so that I can crack the lines to see it fuel is getting to the cylinders. Everything seems to work fine, untill I start turning down the idle screw; then it stalls. I''ve tried ''everything'' but can''t seem to get it to start and idle as normal.
