300e 24 cough & splutter

[phil59]

hi, i have a 300e 24 1990 w124
when starting (only when warm) it sounds like it only runs on 4 cylinders not 6
for a few seconds then clears and drives perfectly ok though sometimes it smells a bit rich
just wondering if anyone has come up against this before
it has recently had new ign module and coil (ouch)
thanks in advance phil

I had the same problem and fitted a new camsaft sensor,a new distributor cap and a new air intake temperateure sensor which cured the proble but fit mb parts as it will be cheaper in the long run. You can go and look my earlier posts on this subject.
My w124 is 1992 and it was all the original which i changed.good luck

Ommitted from my earlier post i also fitted a rotor arm and follower i think they come as a set when ordered.
