Why does my 1982 Mercedes-Benz E-Class struggle to start?
My 1982 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W123) auto doesn't like to start when the engine reaches normal running temperature. It has a K-Jetronic ignition system.

This could be down to a number of problems - mainly related to fuel pressure. So check the warm up regulator and the fuel pressure accumulator first, before going after leaky injectors.

I have a 1969 Volkswagen Type 2 campervan. It starts as sweet as a nut when it's cold, but once it's warm it struggles to tick over. Once running, it's fine. Any ideas what the problem is?
How do you depressurise fuel, prior to replacing injectors, on a Peugeot 406?
Was driving home when my car juddered to a stop & cut out. Have had the Cam & crank sensors changed & a new fuel filter. There is pressure at the injectors but they are not opening.
Diagnostics coming...
