cold starting on 300 SE - suggestions please

[PhilT]

feels like 'choke' isn't working, will start but is reluctant to rev or tickover.
Is it likely to be the cold start injector at fault, or the auxillary air device?
Is there any tests I can do to find the problem?
thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,

You might check the overload protection relay fuse. Sited under the bonnet close to the back in amongst the main control relays. You will find the there a smallish relay with a transparent top. There is a red fuse in it. Check it. Its proberly blown. If the ABS light stays on all the while. Then this is almost certainly your problem. If not then you will need to get it in to a specialist or your dealer.

Thanks Andy
You were spot on, fuse was blown, I've replaced it and it works fine now.
Thanks for your help
Phil
