Hello all, just become the new owner of a 92 190e 2.3., my first MB. It doesn't need much to be a very nice little commuter. But, I'm sure I'll continue to find things that create more questions.
Of more immediate concern are two problems;
1. It's very hard to start, cold or hot. I have to depress the accelerator completely and spin the starter several times before it catches. If I don't depress the accelerator, it won't fire. Once it starts, the idle seems a little low and the vehicle shakes considerably. Once moving the shake goes away until I stop again. Runs very smoothly otherwise. A little sluggish on take-off, like it's lugging but, once it gets moving, it's quite peppy.
2. Lastly,(for the moment anyway) the 2nd major concern, I determined tonight that the vehicle has absolutely zero interior dash lighting. Not the cluster and not the center console/climate cluster. The dimming rheostat does nothing it appears. Is there a common fuse for those lights? If not the fuse, any thoughts?
Thanks in advance, I look forward to learning as much as I can here.
