Does the 1990 300E have a thermo time switch? If so, where would it be on the engine? I want to replace it as I have cold start problems. If not, what would be activating the cold start valve in cold and damp mornings? Thanks
I have 124030 chasis and 103983 engine. I checked the MAS (opened it) and all solder joints were intact. I resoldered them stronger). My problem is that in the mornings or after 4-5 hours, I have to crank it 5-6 tomes before it starts to stumble, hasitate and slowly pick up the rev. Once it warms up, it runs very smooth and nice. All electricals ( plugs, ignition wires, rotor, dist. cap, battery, air filter, fuel filter) are new.
The 10 amp fuse in OVP is ok.
Thanks for responding.
Thanks RBYCC.
I will try to put new engine temp sensor and let you know. Is the sensor with 3 terminals near the cold start valve? My MAS/fuel pump relay are combined.
I rewired the cold start with a push button switch and installed it near the foot cover on the left. When I want to start in the mornings or having it sat for hours, I press the switch for 3-5 seconds to open the cold valve to spray gas in the manifold. Is starts good. I had replaced the cold valve, temp sensor, MAS, but did not work.
