[W126 Coupe] emission problem

[Markus Meyer]

Clay,

First thing I would have done is pull spark plugs to see if any of them were
wet with fuel.  If so, I would have then replaced the injector for that
cylinder.  Heck, if you don't know if/when the fuel injectors were done, I'd
replace them all, could be original and sticking by now!
