Hi
I wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction on a cold start problem I have on my 93 220E (non cat).

The car starts fine but idles erratically then stalls when I put it in gear, reverse or D. The car is fine when its warm but a real pain until then.

I am assuming the cold start mechanism is not working. I do depress the pedal to the floor before starting as the manual instructs.

Where could I start in finding the problem?


Thx in advance.

Did you discover what was causing the problem?
I am having the same symptoms with my 230 TE.
Any advice would be appreciated.
