RE: 1991 164 starting problems

Richard,

 

You know, it sounds like a cold starting problem. Motronic is VERY
sensitive to the temp sensor near the thermostat, check for broken wires
there, or clean connections there. Playing with a variable resister
connected to the temp sensor wires could help to diagnose the cold temp
sensor. I have had short wires pull loose at the Motronic temp sensor
due to motor mount movement.
