starting problems - 8/18/2004 5:16:40 AM    Dagh   Posts: 2 Joined: 8/18/2004 Status: offline Hi. I am new to this fourm, but have tried unsuccsessfully to get help elsewhere. The problem is that my 1994 E 220 (petrol) having difficulties in starting if the engine is half-warm. The starter is running, but no start. If I wait a few minutes (sometime longer) it starts without problems. This has never happened with a cold motor, and does not happen everytime (can be weeks in between). This is quite frustrating because I do not know what will happen when I turn the key after a brief stop. I be more that gratefull if anybody has a tip or two Thanks Dag Post #: 1

I would take it to the dealer, or a good independant MB mechanic. It is either a fuel, and or, a computer related issue, an anylizer can identify the fault. Good luck...........

Could you point me to someplace where I get a discription of how to find the relays? Anyway thanks a lot for the ideas - If this does not work I take the car to the MB dealer and let you know if they find out whats wrong Dag (in reply to Dagh) Post #: 4
