[W124] RE: [Mercedes] Intermittent Starting Problem

[Vance Jorgensen]

Greetings!
   
  I have has this same problem, and it turned out to be the fuel injector temperature sensor.    I had this problem on my 1993 300CE with the 3.2 engine.  Replacement of this part cured the problem.  I am just now experiencing the same problem on my 1994 E320 coupe (3.2, same engine), and will now do the same fix.   
   
  Best of luck!

  Hi Paul,

Check if you can hear the fuel pump run when you switch on the ignition. If 
not the fuel pump may be sticking. They can operate intermittantly when they 
are on the way out.

Dec.
