Ok have been working on the car for about two days now when I get off work.

Cleaned every thing around fule line areas. Had a hard time getting the cold start valve off stripped 5 mm hex bolt finally got it off. Anyways here goes.

Found a small hose that was cracked on the exhaust manifild connected to a very small clear air line i think. Mercedes junk yard/ dismanteler is near my apartment and I got a new hose for free. It looks like a 180 degree rubber elbow size of a quarter don't know yet if this will fix starting problem probably not.

Bought a digital multimeter, cheap one 9 dollars, to check the 12 volts to the cold start valve. Hooked up valve externally and hooked all fuel lines back up and cranked the engine no 12 volts to valve.

Could this be the OVP relay that is shorted. ?? If I take apart the relay OVP what should I see inside to tell that this has gone bad ?



By the the GP sorenson does not make the right cold start valve for this vehicle.

If I hook up 12 volts to the cold start valve and the car starts right away doesn't this meen that it is definately the OVP.
