[W126 Coupe] Fuel Pressure Drop

[Joseph Schumann]

Hi Clay:

I had a similar problem and found that by leaning out the fuel a little bit in the fuel distributor the hard start as well as the smoke on startup went away. The black puff of smoke also went away when I lit the afterburner on acceleration. I was able to use an exhaust gas analyzer at my local shop to do this. You don't want it too lean or you could overheat. Perhaps you local mechanic could help.

Regards,

Joe

 had my fuel filter changed and if you seen my  emails thanks to Richard's phnone call figured the main problem was my cold  start valve which I replaced and now the car will start instantly and try it  again,and again it it still starts right away. Let it sit for a few minutes and  you have to floor it to start. You can smell gas when you back up the car from  the garage. Could something have been done back in the fuel pump area? I've gone  and bought all new lines,fuel pumps, filter, etc. But not dampners. Any ideas  will I'm under there changing all this stuff? Richard I'll give you a call this  weekend not to burn up mins. before I start this adventure.
