Firing her up

[Mercv8]

Ive had a little issue with my car for a while now, its not a major issue but something that bugs me every now and then.

When i fire her up, from cold- alot of the time she fires up as normal.. Other times, she seems to stall herself, like chokes out.

A mechanic has looked at the car for misfire issue in the past, that was resolved, had new leads put in her, that improved responsiveness but still the issue was their.

The mechanic said he could find no air leak..

Dirty idle control valve and try checking the cold start valve?

Had similar problem on a 220. Weather /time of year / short runs caused condensation to form inside distributer cap. A heat gun and that favourite for all "fundamentalists", WD40 solved my problem. Cap terminals are worth close inspection for corrosion/errosion especially if damp is found.
