I hope someone can give me some clues as to what might be causing an intermittent starting problem with my 92 240SE estate (auto).
Sometimes it starts normally, first turn of the key with no problems. However, on other occasions trying to get it started is a nightmare. The engine will just turn and turn without showing any sign of firing. Jiggling the auto selector and pumping the throttle seem to make little difference until the engine suddenly catches and starts.
The implication is that there is no fuel getting to the cylinders for some reason on certain occasions. Temperature makes little difference nor does the fact that it is the first start of the day or a start-up after being parked for a few minutes. It can start normally at beginning of the day and then be awkward next time I try it after being parked and vice-versa
